AAST 206 - History of the Caribbean to 1838

First Semester.  Beginning with an examination of indigenous Caribbean  societies,  this course then studies how the various European  colonial  enterprises affected the region’s social and economic  history.  It  examines such themes as trade, the evolution of  labor systems, the  establishment of the plantation enterprises,  and political and  social organizations.  A central feature of  this course is to  understand the evolution of such concepts as  class, gender, and  ‘race’ in the context of the Caribbean.
