This journal is where you tie together what you are learning from the reading. Each journal must cover several weeks worth of readings, and should be 8-10 pages in
length. DO NOT SUMMARIZE the readings; instead you have to think about what ideas each reading contained, and then weave these ideas into a well-written informal
paper. You can include your own reactions, but the journal is primarily to be about the issues the article raised. Although it is a journal it does need an
organizing statement and a conclusion based on your own thoughts.
I have PDFs of most of the readings and will scan those I do not have.

“The Essence of this country is bound up in Indian land and African Slave labour”
The words by Commanche activist Paul Smith speak to the processes underlying the development of the United States. And yet, clearly, these same processes have the
the development of the Americas. While different colonial regimes worked in distinct ways in different regions; all were based on appropriating Indigenous land, and
to a greater or lessor extent, on importing African Slave Labor. Moreover the repercussions of these underlying formative processes are manifested today in every
nation-state across the America’s as communities of diasporic Africans and Indigenous peoples struggle with the commonalites and contradictions relating to their
sometimes divergent and sometimes shared histories. – A distinct Black or Indigenous communities, or as the “red-black” peoples created by their intermarriage.
Across the Americas, relations between diasporic Africans and Indigenous peoples have fostered both magnificent alliances and intense conflicts, which vary according
to region or nations-state.
In order to address these powerful and painful realities, this course begins with the conceptual issues shaping racial formation for Black and Native Peoples. It then engages extensively with the need to rethink how we understand slavery – addressing both the African and the Indigenous experience. Next it examines the two
processes that affected indigenous and african peoples in in a very different manner – the abolition of slavery and processes of Independence and Nation building
among the different settler states of the Americas.
