To what extent were conceptions of racial and religious distinctions conditional on their local contexts? The eventual emergence of religious tolerance among Christians and a racial hierarchy based on skin color was not predetermined or inevitable, as many recent studies of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries has demonstrated. This course will explore the ways in which looking at historical developments "from below" continues to challenge traditional narratives of the early modern era (1492-1800). Using methodologies employed by recent scholarship as a guide, this course encourages students to read sources in creative ways to better understand the lived experiences of those individuals that the archive seemingly silenced.
