HIST116 CM - Slavery: A World History

This course examines the history of slavery in many global locations across multiple periods of time. Beginning with ancient forms of bound labor, it then traces the growth of slavery in the Americas, built initially upon the enslavement of indigenous people, but ultimately most substantially with African workers. The course closely follows the rise of the transatlantic slave trade from Africa, which produced distinct and variable slave regimes in the Americas. In the process, the class will explore the lived experiences and forms of resistance of those who were enslaved, and includes considerations of modern forms of oppression.
