The "Discovery" of America
We've been talking this week about the arrival of the Europeans in the Americas and the effects this had on the indigenous population, but sometimes it's better to just SEE it. Take a look at "Even the Rain," a Spanish movie that came out last year and deals with Christopher Columbus and exploitation today.
Yeah, I know there's a romería...
...but start studying!
Lookin' good, 2ºAB!

You can also go to the public library here in Lepe and ask the librarians, I'm sure they would love to help out!
And many thanks to Amanda Traina, Louise Wootton, and Claire Gallagher for designing this project and making it available online!

After much whining and complaining...
...here it is. Study up! But remember, the Carolingian Empire only lasted from the mid-8th century to the mid-9th century, not from the 12th to the 14th!
