In this four-session course, we will explore the meteoric rise of American chattel slavery from 1619-1861 through economic, historical, legal, political, religious and scientific lenses provided in the book 400 Souls, edited by Ibram Kendi and Keisha Blain. We will then apply these lenses to increase our understanding of the current racially polarized historical moment.
Required book: Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019 (edited by Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain)
Instructor: Joshua Frank
