Discuss technological development and environmental change in Mexico from the pre-Columbian period until the early twentieth-
century. How did pre-Columbian Native People use technology to alter their environment and what role did environmental phenomena (such as rain) play
in how they lived and understood their world? What technological and
environmental change occurred as part of European conquest and
colonialism? What does the Watering the Revolution reading tell us about
technology and environmental change during the 19thand early
20thcenturies? Were there political discussions about the environment and
technology during this time?
