HI 568 Slavery in the Americas
Exploration of the development of chattel slavery throughout the Americas. Analysis of the emergence and development of New World slavery in ways that encourage students to think critically about the historical processes of abolition, emancipation, and freedom across the Atlantic world. The lectures and readings seek to dislodge the notion that the "history of slavery" only pertains to the United States. The course, instead, emphasizes commonalities and differences in ways that challenge assumptions that the institution was exceptional in any given region. Credit will not be given for both ±á±õÌý468 and ±á±õÌý568.
