| Ementa: In 2017 the Valongo wharf, in the harbor area of Rio de Janeiro, became a UNESCO world heritage site. This was one of the main areas of slave disembarkation in world history, becoming an important memorial of the African diaspora in the modern era. Between the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Antilles in 1492 and the last slave voyage to Cuba in the 1860s, over twelve million Africans were carried to the Americas to work as slaves in various enterprises. This massive coerced migration - the largest in human history - transformed the world in various ways. This course will offer a historical overview of this process and the multiple interdisciplinary debates that have engaged historians, geographers, economists, and anthropologists working on the subject. Among the multiple themes that will be discussed are: the impact of the transatlantic slave trade on African societies, the relationship between capitalism and slavery, the cultural implications of the traffic for New World societies, and the origins and legacies of abolition. Heavy use of Voyages: the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database (www.slavevoyages.org) as a research and teaching tool will be made during the semester. | ||
