LACS 50.15 Cuba in the Black Atlantic: Slavery and its Legacies

Among the first territories colonized by the Spanish Empire, Cuba was a main hub of the Atlantic slave trade from the sixteenth through the nineteenth century. Over one million African slaves were trafficked to this Caribbean island. With Cuba as our main port of entry, this course introduces students to the history of African diasporic societies and politics in Latin America and the Caribbean from the late colonial period to the twentieth century. Often treated as figures with no political vision or power, black people were long relegated to the margins of our understandings of history.
