HIST 336 - Slavery, Nature, Empire
Credits: 4
The combination of slave labor, the production of tropical and sub-tropical staple crops (sugar, tobacco, rice, cotton, coffee, indigo), and the plantation were central to the making of the Atlantic world between the 15th and the 19th Centuries. Nonetheless, the relation between them can by no means be taken for granted. Particular crops only grow in certain regions or under certain environmental conditions. At the most elemental level, the relation of the value of the labor input to the value of the product determined the suitability of slave labor in a given territory. At the same time, the first slave crops were “drug crops.” Their material characteristics created new needs and drew consuming populations into new market relations. Specific combinations of material processes and social relations of slave production create distinctive complexes of export agriculture in particular environmental zones. These zones and the wealth created in them were the objects of intense imperial rivalry especially between Portugal, Holland, Britain and France. This course examines the interrelation natural environments, the social organization slave plantation production, and the politics of empire as integral parts of the Atlantic plantation complex.

HIST 355 - Race & Sex in American History
Credits: 4
This course examines the interplay of race and sex in American history from contact through the 20th century, and the ways in which race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality converged. Formally, many factors, notably the law, worked to keep racial and ethnic groups in America from crossing sexual boundaries. In practice, those boundaries were quite permeable, and regularly breached and challenged. Course themes include the construction and maintenance of racial categories, the origins and power of racial stereotypes, the racialization of sex and the body, sexual intimacy and violence across racial lines, and the law as a tool to enforce sexual and racial boundaries. Receiving considerable attention will be how slavery, race, and racism shaped ideas and mores about sex. Topics explored include conquest and westward expansion, sexual exploitation of female slaves and free women of color; `passing’; sexual, racial and ethnic stereotypes; taboos about interracial relationships, their origins, and forms; anti-miscegenation laws; lynching; medicine, disease and race; and homosexuality. Given the nature of the subject matter, students may find some of the material uncomfortable and/or disturbing. Restriction: No Freshman. Offered every other year.

HIST 412 - Shakespeare to Hollywood
Credits: 4
The course has three major elements, which are interlinked. It explores the definition of the Renaissance and its significance, how Renaissance themes reached a wide popular audience in Shakespeare’s time, and how representations of those themes have in turn shaped our own culture. The central part of the course concentrates on a selection of Shakespeare’s plays and relates these to Renaissance themes such as the classical past, the “Middle Ages,” the psychology of power and attitudes to the self. The final part of the course examines the ongoing fascination-and marketability-of Shakespeare’s tragedies, comedies and histories.

HIST 432 - Latin America and the U.S.
Credits: 4
Why do Latin Americans often view the U.S. as an empire? From the Mexican-American War to the Spanish-American War, from Gunboat Diplomacy to the Good Neighbor Era, and from the Cold War to the Drug War, the United States has had complicated and conflictive relationships with its hemispheric neighbors. This seminar has two components: historiography and research. After completing intensive reading on Latin America-U.S. relations, the course goes step-by-step through researching, drafting, discussing and revising research papers. The sub-regional focus of the seminar may change from year to year (e.g. Central America). Prerequisite: a course in either U.S. history after 1877 or Latin American studies.
