Topics in Caribbean History. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

The Caribbean was the first place of cross-cultural exchange between the Old and the New World, the region in which most of the colonial systems that later proliferated in the Americas were tested and where the first acts of resistance took place. This course explores the main historiographical discussions and histories of the broad Caribbean region or specific national accounts such as the British, Spanish, and French West Indies, Jamaica, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Barbados, and many others. The chronological scopes could focus on pre-colonial, colonial, or postcolonial times. May be repeated for credit when topics vary. Course Fee: GL01 $90; STLF $18.48.
