HIST 406 - The Atlantic World: The Shared History of Europeans, Africans, and Native Americans

(3.00)

Starting in the 1400s, people around the Atlantic began to interact, using the ocean as their highway. In the process of connecting with each other, Africans, Europeans and Americans transformed themselves and each other, creating new worlds, both in the Americas and at home, for all. The relatively new field of Atlantic history was developed to study these connections and transformations in the early modern period as well as how they changed over time. This course will not concern itself exclusively with one area, nor follow necessarily a chronological path. We will study the making of an Atlantic working class, coerced labor, piracy, maronage, native rebellions and anti-colonial revolutions. Recommended Preparation HIST 341.
