This course will survey the social and economic development of the American Southwest, from the "prehistory" of the region to the impact of the Spanish colonial enterprise and the American occupation. This course strives to provide an integrated understanding of change of time within the native, Mexican, and Anglo communities of the region by inquiry into the major formative historical forces affecting these people. Topical emphasis will be upon social structure, class stratification, and labor conflict. Evaluation will be based upon class participation, two midterm exams, and a final exam. Group A
