AAAS 60.02 Black and Indigenous Slaveries

This course explores how slavery in the New World emerged out of multiple traditions, such as Roman, Mediterranean, African, and Amerindian bondage, as well as diverse forms of captivity and forced labor. Primarily, we will focus on the expansion, overlaps, and variations between Indigenous and African slaveries; the legalities justifying these institutions; and varying forms of emancipation in areas such as West and West Central Africa, Europe, Mesoamerica, North and South America, and the Greater Caribbean.
