Section Information for Spring 2016
Do you enjoy a good story? Do you like reading about people and how they lived in the past? If so, join us in Global Microhistories and learn about individuals, groups of people, places, and events through engagingly-written narratives. We will focus on the Atlantic World (Europe, Africa, Latin America, and British America) in the early modern period (1500-1800) and we will examine the lives of women and men; Native Americans, Africans, Europeans and their descendants; Jews, Muslims, and Christians, and others. Beyond the fun of learning about people’s lives on an intimate level, reading these detailed histories allows us to understand larger historical events and processes from a personal perspective and gives us insight into groups and cultures that are not as well-represented in more traditional histories.
