HIST 20109 - Slavery in the Americas

Course Credit: 1
(AFST, GLIS, LAST)
Students will explore how divergent local geography, patterns of settlement, religion, and legal systems contributed to the character of slavery in North and South America. Our analytical focus is on forms of slave agency and resistance through the eyes of contemporary actors and modern historians. As a HIST 201 course, this seminar is a practical introduction of the critical skills of the historian - including the analysis of primary sources, historiography, historical research and writing, and historical argumentation. (pre-1800) Prerequisite(s): 1 course in History or permission of the instructor. [C, HSS, W]
