Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
In this course, students will be introduced to discussions of theoritical definitions of slavery in using a comparative perspective: what is a slave? What is freedom? We will confront Western concepts of slavery and freedom to African realities. We will also examine the concepts of exploitation, marginality, resistance and agency by analysing case studies and original sources. Besides, students will be made aware of the highly gendered aspect of slavery: male and female slaves experienced slavery very differently. We will higlight the changing nature of African slavery over the centuries and more specifically analyse the consequences of the Atlantic Slave trade, the colonial conquest and abolitionism. Finally, the course will examine the end of slavery and the legacy of slavery in post-abolitionist Africa.
