ANTH 412 - Slavery and Human Trafficking: Past and Present 3 hours


This course explores how slavery and the traffic of human beings have been justified, organized and practiced in different cultures and at different times. Focusing on three particular world regions (Africa, Asia and the Americas), and covering both historical and contemporary forms of slavery, the course uses anthropological perspectives to examine definitions and representations of slavery, as well as the economic, political and social forces that shape human exploitation cross-culturally. Cross-listed as SOCI 412 . Prerequisite: junior standing.
