Slave-trade, slavery and its Abolition have, for long time, constituted well established areas of historical research. Only more recently has interest shifted to Afro-American culture and post-emancipation societies, as part of the emerging field of post-colonial studies.
This course will start with the aftermath of Abolition in Brazil and the Caribbean and focus on three broad themes:
I) The transformation from slaves into workers and peasants.
II) The development of Afro-American popular culture.
III) 'Race', racism and citizenship.
