This course engages the works of Caribbean people to document the history of radical thought and movements from the 18th to the mid-20th century. Students are exposed to different areas of the Caribbean and its diaspora (Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Cuba, Martinique, the United States, etc.), and its people (Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Arturo Schomburg, Fernando Ortiz, Amy Jacques Garvey, Shirley Chisholm, etc.) in an examination of revolutionary and nationalist ideologies.
