HIST 361 - Race and Identity in the Atlantic World
Credits: 4
An intellectual history of racial identity in the Atlantic world. We explore the concept of race and consider its transnational development from 1492 to 1965, with a focus on the formation of distinct racial categories and how those categories affected the way that people saw themselves and each other. Places such as the West Coast of Africa, Haiti, and England are covered. Special attention is given to the United States, a nation that played a central role in contributing to the creation of the concept of race.
Distribution Requirements: IP, PD.
