HIST176 CM - Early American Families

This course examines the meaning and construction of family units in the Atlantic World from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Economic changes, imperial migrations, interracial sex, and transatlantic ideas molded and shaped the notion of what a family was. Similar concepts, such as marriage, illegitimacy, and households shifted in turn. In this seminar, we will explore these changes in different imperial systems during the era of European Atlantic colonization. The course also develops vital research skills and methodologies needed by historical scholars.
