    When Offered: Fall 2016.
    Instructor(s): M. O. Traore
    Credit: 1

    Research on slavery has remained centered on males, even after the emergence, in the 1970s, of women’s history as a coherent field of study. This seminar intends to correct this imbalance by showing that women played crucial roles in the politics and economies of the households into which men brought them. The course illustrates the many strategies of acquiring and the complex implications of holding women as slaves in Africa, in the Indian Ocean region, and in the Arab and modern Atlantic worlds. Additionally, it focuses on women and household slavery in the more commercialized centers of these regions: southern Africa, the Swahili cities and plantations of eastern Africa, and Muslim western and North Africa. Finally, it analyzes female experiences and their strategies for surviving enslavement, slavers’ sexualization of the women they held as slaves, the subsequent gendering of women once emancipated, and the memories of racialized women and their children.
