Title
Atlantic Worlds
Course Description
Atlantic Worlds examines the conditions under which a specific kind of capitalism emerges in the 21st Century. Organized through speculation and new forms of exploitation beyond the industrial workplace; in prison and military industrial complexes; where debt accrues to a growing global precariat. This new moment in a much longer history of capital is approached in several ways: one, through attention to 1492; two, the legacy of Atlantic slavery; three, current accumulation by dispossession, inclusive of land grab, ecological devastation, and violence.
