HIS 1021 - History of the Caribbean

Institution:

Manhattanville College

Subject:

Description:

This course provides an introduction to the history of the Caribbean since the early nineteenth century. It is organized around the concept of a dialogue between "national" political histories--that is, the formation of independent states after centuries of Spanish colonial rule and the heterogeneous experiences and histories of workers, farmers, peasants, artisans, slaves, and women. Within this framework we will also examine aspects of the social and cultural history and economic development of the region, including the study of land and labor systems, gender relations, religion, race and ethnicity, community and class formation, and state formation.
