CORE 002 SC - Plantation Empires: Gender, Labor, Race and the Construction of “Difference”
This course explores the contemporary and historical significance of the plantation complex in North America, the Caribbean, South and South East Asia. We will underscore its centrality not only to the production of vital commodities like sugar and tea but also to the constitution of dominant ideas of “difference” (of race, gender, and sexuality) that emerged through labor practices and brutal bondage. Resistance will also be explored. We will trace plantation pasts that continue to live in the present- pasts that continue to haunt our understandings of social difference, power, and inequality.
Instructor: P. Chatterjee
