SAAA Lecture Indigenous Resistance and Cultural Transformation
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Flagler Room, Flagler College
Description: Indigenous Resistance and Cultural Transformation in the Spanish Caribbean
In this talk, Karen Anderson-Córdova will be presenting highlights of her recently published book Surviving Spanish Conquest, Indian Fight, Flight, and Cultural Transformation in Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. She weaves archaeological, historical and ethnohistorical sources into a narrative of what happened to the indigenous populations of the Spanish Caribbean and explores the ethnic complexity of native peoples who coalesced on these islands, and how they resisted Spanish colonization.
Dr. Anderson-Córdova is retired from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Historic Preservation Division, where she managed preservation planning and compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and state stewardship of historic properties. She also taught anthropology and archaeology at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus, at Georgia State University, Atlanta, and was State Archaeologist and Deputy SHPO in the Puerto Rico State Historic Preservation Office.
