- Class Notes:
- For at least the past quarter-century, study of colonial America has constituted something other than a myopic focus on New England. One of the premises of this seminar, then, is that anything about "America" in this period is simultaneously about Europe, about Africa, and about the Caribbean. Focused particularly on the colonies of Roanoke, Jamestown, Plymouth, and Massachusetts Bay, and on the islands of Barbados, Jamaica, and Hispaniola, we will refract this geographic span through contexts as various, and variously interlocking, as: adventuring in the "New World"; Indigenous traditions, dispossession, and massacre; Puritanism in conflict with Quakerism and Catholicism; witchcraft; the Great Awakening; the rise of institutionalized slavery; Atlantic revolution and Enlightenment; and the politics of the early republic.
