HILA 3201 - History of the Caribbean, 1500-2000

The Caribbean is a region of the Atlantic world bounded by Central America and the north of South America, and by an arc of islands which runs from Trinidad in the south, to the Bahamas in the north, and Cuba in the west. This course surveys its history from the pre-Columbian era to the present, with special emphasis on the Anglophone territories. It is at the same time an introduction to the intellectual history of the region, since readings are chosen almost exclusively from within its traditions.
