Fall 2023 Course Spotlight: CAS AA400 – Slavery and the In-Between
Slavery and the In-Between with Professor Andree Cunningham
Tues/Thurs 3:30 – 4:45 PM
This course examines the space between freedom and enslavement known as recaptivity. Course discussions will focus on historical and social conceptions of freedom, and how these conceptions relate to recaptive status.
We will review recaptivity contexts documented in both the historical and archaeological record. We will also examine the theme of return in recaptives’ journeys and the contemporary journeys of Afro-descendants to the African continent.
