中文简介:
本课程的重点是大约1550-1850之间的时期。美国的种族观念在十九世纪中叶形成了一种形式,并通过立法,经济和动产奴隶制度得到巩固。但是,无论是字典定义还是社会后果,种族和身份在三百年前都意味着截然不同。人们如何在美国早期构成自己的身份,他们是如何谈论这些身份的呢?文字将包括美国土着,英国,英美,非洲和美国黑人作家的旅行写作,圈养叙事,演说,信件和诗歌。
课程简介: This course focuses on the period between roughly 1550-1850. American ideas of race had taken on a certain shape by the middle of the nineteenth century, consolidated by legislation, economics, and the institution of chattel slavery. But both race and identity meant very different things three hundred years earlier, both in their dictionary definitions and in their social consequences. How did people constitute their identities in early America, and how did they speak about these identities? Texts will include travel writing, captivity narratives, orations, letters, and poems, by Native American, English, Anglo-American, African, and Afro-American writers.
