Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
Fulfills the LAMA requirement for History Majors and Minors. This course explores the intertwined histories of the French and Haitian revolutions, which together shaped the modern world. We will learn about old regime society in France, the pre-conquest Caribbean, empire and colonization, politics, social movements, the slave trade, racism, and the role of ideas in sparking revolutions and carrying them forward into the future. We will examine large scale social, material, and political forces, as well as the individuals and communities that created or resisted revolution. A major theme of the course will be the complex and contradictory meanings of equality and liberty around the French Atlantic world.
