Description: This course examines race in the “Age of Revolution,” a time period that roughly covers the mid eighteenth century up to the early nineteenth century. It focuses on the American Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, and slave rebellions in and across North America and the Caribbean. It pays special attention to the experiences of Africans and their descendants during these times of political and social upheaval. Using both primary and secondary sources, students will explore the cultural, spiritual, social, and structural dimensions of these conflicts. Questions we seek to answer in this course include: how revolutionary was each revolution in terms opening up rights and freedoms and shifting power to racially marginalized groups? What made a revolution “successful”? Along with in-class discussions, this course includes a two short in-class exams and written assignments based on primary source analysis.
