What happens after Slavery in the Caribbean?
How is freedom defined and a society based on human freedom created in the aftermath of centuries of slavery?
How does this impact on the contemporary Caribbean?
These are the questions which guide our intellectual inquiries in this course. HIST 3710 looks at three case studies - Haiti, The Anglo-Caribbean and Cuba - to examine the struggles waged by the emancipated to make freedom a reality and to create new lives for themselves.
