ANTH 488 - Caribbean Histories and Cultures
This short two-week immersive course moves beyond the sun, beach and sand modalities of experiencing the Caribbean and instead helps students develop an interdisciplinary understanding of the culture, history and socio-political factors that have given rise to this dynamic region. Special attention is given to moving beyond a linguistically singular and myopic vision of the Caribbean, to one that emphasizes its complexities and contradictions through a comparative lens.
