HIST 210 - The Making of the Atlantic World: 1400-1800


Unlike typical courses, which focus on a particular nation or region, this course examines the history of the Atlantic Ocean itself, from discovery of the Americas to the American and Haitian Revolutions. Drawing on readings about people in colonial North America, colonial Latin America, pre-colonial Africa, and European history, we will explore the connections among the peoples of all four of these continents. We will examine how historians have come to understand the Atlantic as a bridge between cultures, and as a means of cultural, economic, intellectual, and ecological exchange.
