I agree: critical biography is a great way to balance a deep study of one individual with your analysis of the larger historical context. Make sure you’re picking scholarly sources that represent current thinking […]

Great topic. Make sure you’re looking for some recent secondary sources as well (that will let you look at a variety of perspectives on Aztec religion). The Barrera is a library/alumni magazine piece and not […]

So, you’re in luck: the primary source you’re looking for is reprinted in the digitized volumes of the Revista de la Biblioteca Nacional https://catalogo.bn.gov.ar/F/?func=direct&doc_number=001213120&local_base=GENER

You’ve found some great secondary sources!
Dylan’s suggestion to look at the general Argentine source reader is an excellent idea: http://consort.library.denison.edu/record=b2304973~S6

Excellent research question! I see that you’ve found Gates’ article. You might also enjoy his short documentary on Haiti and the DR when you have time: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/black-in-latin-america/

This is a very promising topic! Your peers make some great suggestions on narrowing your focus to concentrate on a particular genre of music (or type of instrument). Did reading the Credo overview articles help […]

Your peers make valuable suggestions! Some of the early chapters from Kathryn Burns’ Colonial Habits (about Cuzco) should prove valuable: http://consort.library.denison.edu/record=b2052492~S6

Well done: clearly an engaging idea. Camilla Townsend has a great book that will be useful: http://consort.library.denison.edu/record=b2765409~S6

I like your idea about a close examination of a single (important!) map as a way to think about colonialism/ colonial science. Come see me if you’re looking for secondary source article ideas.

Great ideas (and high-quality sources) Miki! As you learn more, I think it will help to narrow to a geographical region / few specific food examples. Great topic for an image-rich presentation format!

Abby makes an excellent secondary source selection!
I can’t get your links to work – can you post the titles, please?

You get some great ideas from your peers! It might help to focus geographically (at least for your central case study) so you can make a more in-depth analysis. Good, high-quality sources. I like Jaz’s ideas […]

Also, you can think about the primary source evidence contained in material culture: https://americanindian.si.edu/exhibitions/infinityofnations/patagonia/177324.html

I’m having trouble finding an English translation of Vicuña Mackenna’s book, but I’ll keep looking.
Was Crow’s bibliography any help in your search for primary sources?
One more place for good English […]

I think comparing the views of both parties is very important when researching topics in Latin America since there is often a gap in sources from the indigenous peoples. Comparing rituals and events would also be […]

This is an awesome research idea and seems like it will be fun to research! I would do some background work into what music was like before and after colonialism. Looking at specific instruments could also be […]

I really like this research topic and I think it has important long term effects in modern day Hispanola. I spent a week in high school at a school in the Dominican Republic and one of the things they mentioned to […]
