  • HIST 802: The North Atlantic World

    1.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    This seminar presents a comprehensive view of the North Atlantic region in the period from about 1600 to the outbreak of the American Revolution. This course will explore three broad themes: identity, social structures, and conflict. Students will first meet the peoples of the larger North Atlantic society, giving special attention to the interaction of indigenous peoples; Spanish, Dutch, French, and English colonizers; and enslaved Africans. Readings and discussion will examine the transnational character of trade, culture, religion, migration, communication, law, and governance - in spite of national policies that discouraged such interaction. But, most strikingly, the North Atlantic region was a competitive and, even, dangerous environment. Wars of conquest, piracy and buccaneering, repression and exploitation, and internecine colonial warfare were dominant features of its history in the early modern period. 1.00 units, Lecture

    "We shape our buildings, and afterwards they shape us," Winston Churchill declared in 1943.

The built environment is the most obvious and permanent form of a nation's cultural history. Members of this course will examine the human and natural forces that have molded buildings and will reflect on architecture as an expression of contemporary political and social ideas. From the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries, Britain grew to be the dominant global power, revolutionizing the face of the world and exporting its culture to every continent. This course will cover the British Caribbean, Bahamas, Bermuda, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India, and the North American colonies from Canada to Georgia.
