Caribbean History

Catalog description

This course examines cultures and comparative historical experiences in the Caribbean, from early modern European expansion to the present. It analyzes ways in which race, ethnicity, gender, and class contributed to shared memories and political discourse as well as to social conflict, revolution, dictatorship and democracy, and the intersections of this past with the rise of the United States from the perspective of diplomacy, imperialism, and migration. Thematic focus will vary.
