HIGE 324 - Rebels of the Atlantic: Age of Revolutions


Credits: (3)
This course will examine the growth of slavery across the various European empires in the Americas (Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, and Dutch). While plantations differed between the European colonies, slave labor was a constant. Thus, in the face of extreme exploitation, how did slaves respond? Beginning in the sixteenth century with the revolt of Enriquillo in Santo Domingo, the class will trace developments of resistance and marronage up to the late-nineteenth century by examining topics like runaway communities in Brazil, Jamaica, and Surinam; as well as uprisings in Cuba, Haiti, and the U.S.
