Sociology of the Caribbean

This course provides a historical and contemporary overview of European economic colonial ventures and consequences in the Caribbean region, through Indigenous genocide, organization of brutal economic production around African slavery and Indian indenture, and the formation of oppressive colonial cultural and institutional systems. The growing diversity in peoples, languages, and cultures, and complex socio-economic and political issues across centuries brought resistance, independence movements and nationhood, neocolonialism and economic dependency, and diaspora immigration into western countries.
