Expanded Course Description This course addresses the ways in which diasporic black peoples have responded to and resisted their enslaved and subordinated status in the Americas. Resistance is first addressed in relationship to slavery, but later in the course resistance is seen in a much broader context: in response to post-colonial and post-civil rights, and as an engagement of national, economic, cultural and social forces. Thus, resistance might be understood as a continuing legacy of black peoples' existence in the Americas. Resistance might, first, be read in relationship to European domination in the Americas and, second, to national and other post-emancipation forms of domination which force us to think of resistance in increasingly more complex ways.

    “Where ever there was slavery, there was resistance” (University of the West Indies 86). Before the arrival of the first African slave ship, until the expansion of Maroon communities and the birth of Creolized Africans, slaves have resisted and resented the hostile confinements of slavery. The harsh realities of slavery left many enslaved persons feeling maladjusted to their conditions as expendable labourers rather than human beings. The resistance to their conditions were an everyday feature of their lives as slaves. Building on Michael Craton’s typology, it is important to note the different transitions of resistance. Craton states that in order to understand the forms and types of resistance, one must view it on several levels. Resistance went through a transition; freedom from slavery to the resistance of the slave system itself (qtd. in Knight 3:222). Craton believes that while there are passive and active resistance, there were the transitional phases of these types of resistance in the context of the African born protests to Maroonage, and finally the Creole Africans (qtd. in Knight 3:222).…
