"A Syllabus of Hispanic-American History" by William Whatley Pierson, Jr. is an academic guidebook written in the early 20th century, specifically during the 1910s. It is designed for students studying history, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the historical, political, economic, and cultural aspects of Hispanic-American countries. The book focuses on the lasting significance of these nations and their contributions to broader global contexts, particularly highlighting the political dynamics in the Americas. The syllabus outlines a structured curriculum that covers critical time periods and themes in Hispanic-American history, including the colonial systems established by Spain and Portugal, the wars of independence, and the post-colonial development of nations in the region. It emphasizes institutional and economic dimensions over purely political aspects, providing a framework for understanding the complex historical interactions among European powers and Hispanic-American nations as well as their connection to the United States. The content includes detailed discussions about colonial administration, the role of the Church, the labor system involving indigenous people and African slaves, and the development of nationalism and democracy in the aftermath of independence. The syllabus also encourages further reading and research, underscoring the necessity of a deeper exploration of less-known histories within the academic study of the Americas.
