History 265 - West Africa and the Diaspora

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

West Africans were building complex social systems from approximately 1000 to 1800. This was also a time of unprecedented strain; millions of Africans were uprooted from their homelands and spread across the world as a result of the Atlantic and trans-Saharan slave trades. Scholarly research in the last decade has attempted to explain both slavery and the slave trade and to assess their impact on Africa, the Americas and the West. An understanding of these processes and their legacy is crucial to a fuller comprehension of human struggles and conflicts during the past 200 years. Also offered through African Studies and Global Studies.
