Course programme

Native American slavery will be discussed in a variety of precolonial (indigenous), colonial and post-colonial forms.
The course will cover variations of involuntary subordination that differ from Euro-American notions of chattel slavery
or indentured servitude. Ideas of captivity, adoption and cognate terms will be examined to further our understanding
of changes in North American slaving practices over time.
