  • HIST 144 SC - Haiti & Colombia - Maroon Nations & Paramilitary States

    This course looks at two countries that are not commonly compared, Haiti and Colombia, with a focus on the African Diaspora. Starting in 1791, the enslaved broke their chains in the Haitian Revolution and radically recast the promise of freedom in the Americas. Colombia is home to the second largest Black population in Latin America after Brazil, and Blacks have stood at the heart of its struggles for dignity across the course of the nation’s history.

    Throughout the colonial era (1697 to 1791 in Haiti and the 1520s to 1810 in Colombia), the poor practiced marronage or escape from beneath the control of European slave elites and metropoles. Metaphorically, those who liberate themselves or break free are the maroon nations, the peoples who have built societies based upon egalitarianism and profound respect for the land. Ranged against them were elites closely tied to Europeans, at first, and then to the United States, up to the present.

    Black Colombians have won rights to the land that are historic for all people in the African Diaspora in the hemisphere. The Black majority of Haiti has, in recent decades, twice elected a president who obeys the will of the poor, and that sort of political project has encountered the full wrath of foreign soldiers, extractive economic models, and U.S.-backed coups.

  • HIST 146 SC - Zapatistas/Mayan Rebels

    Through oral tradition and “people’s history,” this course looks at revolutionary movements in Guatemala and Chiapas, Mexico. Readings focus on the words and actions of the Maya as well as texts in film, poetry, history and political economy. Many of the texts are classics of Latin American culture, such as the chronicles of the 1500s, the words of Rigoberta Menchú during the 1980s genocide in Guatemala, and the challenge of Zapatista rebels in Chiapas to build a world with dignity for all. Among the subjects we will explore are oral histories of the poor as a source for talking about national history; changing approaches toward racial identities across recent decades; centering campesino and working-class gender perspectives; Zapatista challenges to heterosexism; counter-hegemonic conceptions of time and space.

  • HIST 174 SC - The “American” 1960s

    The Sixties has a particular hold on our present. Why? How do we disentangle history from memory, memory from nostalgia? To answer these questions, this course examines the hopes, struggles, and impact of the decade by focusing on conflicts over the meanings of “American” as a source of individual and collective identity and polemical purpose in the U.S. and in the international movements against war, racism and imperialism. Topics include liberalism, civil rights and nationalist movements, immigration, environmentalism, women’s liberation and the sexual revolution, the Vietnam War and the national security state, counterculture, and the rise of the New Right. Students will have the opportunity to do the work of historians in original sources.

    This course is designed to introduce students to the varieties of historical research, interpretation, and writing. Through a focus on recent and prominent works of history, drawn from different historical specialties and representing different methodological approaches, the course will address fundamental questions such as: Why do we study and write history? What defines history as a unique discipline of investigation and knowledge? What constitutes historical evidence, and what are the debates about the criteria for recognizing historical facts and evidence? What is the relationship between politics and historical writing (for example, race, colonialism, or gender)? Are pre-established ideas and values necessary for, commensurate with, or antithetical to the pursuit of historical research and writing? In order to guarantee the widest possible field for considering such questions, the course will be team taught, and the faculty will rotate regularly. Required of all history majors, and open to all students. Seminar format.
