Description

The development of Caribbean societies is crucial to our understanding of capitalism, imperialism, race, development and the mass movement of peoples, products and ideas that have shaped the modern world.

Beginning with the cataclysmic events of the Haitian revolution, this module examines the forces that have shaped Caribbean societies, and the legacies these have bequeathed. Key themes include slavery and the plantation economy, colonialism and neo-colonialism, labour and migration, resistance and revolution, race, culture, and creolisation. Broadly, the course covers the long struggle for Caribbean self-determination and sovereignty, highlighting the history and patterns of Caribbean resistance. Students will be introduced to key debates and seminal texts in Caribbean scholarship, as well as to primary sources that foreground Caribbean voices. The thematic approach covers all the main linguistic areas of the region 鈥� Anglophone, Hispanic, French and Dutch.
