Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

History

Description:

This course examines the role of Africans and their descendents in the making of the New World. We begin by learning about the lives of Africans in Africa before their coerced migration to the Americas and the Caribbean. After briefly examining the process of enslaving Africans and transporting them to the New World, we proceed to learn about the lives of Africans in a variety of different geographical settings and contexts, from slaves engaged in the production of tobacco in South Carolina and Cuba to free(d) blacks in Brazil and Mexico. Over the course of the semester, we will examine how notions and customs regarding race, gender, class, and religion shaped the lives of everyday Africans and their descendents in the New World.
