HIST 324/424 Slavery in Latin American & Caribbean
This course examines how the institution of slavery was transplanted in Latin America and the Caribbean during the 16th century, why slavery developed in some parts of Latin America and the Caribbean (and why not in other regions), and how the institution was eventually abolished by the last decades of the 19th century. It also examines other important topics, such as the transatlantic slave trade; gender and ethnicity; family and kinship; uprisings and rebellions; and the historical formation of the Black Atlantic.
