The Profitability of 19th Century Slave Trade in the Americas through Literary and Cinematic Sources
Instructor: Allen Zegarra
Course Description:
Cross-listed with LALC 300-01. The slave trade in the Americas has been explored through several lenses. Despite the enormous amount of information available, one aspect that still arouses controversy is whether it was a profitable business. This course uses literary and cinematic sources to approach the profitability of the slave trade in 19th century Americas. Based on the information provided in the primary sources (novels and films), the mechanisms used to obtain profits from the slave trade are identified, classified, analyzed, and contrasted with those from secondary sourceshistory, sociology, philosophy, and business. The use of novels and films as primary sources aims at establishing how profitability in the slave trade in 19th century Americas is depicted and how this depiction mirrors or clashes with reality. Pierre Bourdieus, Stuart Halls, Louis Althussers, and Michel Foucaults perspectives, among others, will provide theoretical frameworks to guide our sessions.
