Description

Focuses on a particular topic in settler and colonial studies. Topics vary with each offering but might include examining the intersections of race and racism through a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, intellectual histories, and political movements as they relate to empire, racial capitalization, colonial occupation and dispossession, mass incarceration and concepts of property and accumulation. May be repeated for credit.

Class Notes

Topic: Race / Land / Property Provides a long historical account of the accumulation of land through logics of dispossession within the system of racial capitalism. Students explore the historical methods of claiming private property as a racialised project. Questions of settler-colonialism, imperialism, indigeneity, place and placelessness as well as claims to land and sovereignty are key to our inquiry. Focus is on the legacies of the transatlantic slave trade, specifically through examples in England, the Caribbean and North America. No prerequisites or restrictions.
