HIST 2722 - Comparative Slavery

3 cr. 3 hr. Day course offered every other year.

The course introduces students to the evolution of slavery and the slave trade in the Atlantic World from its roots in the Mediterranean region and Africa to its transformation in the Caribbean basin as a forerunner of modern industrial production. The approach of the course will be comparative in the sense that students will see how slavery has changed over time, and how it differed from place to place and from plantation to plantation.
