HIST 217 Pirates, Rebels, Voodoo Queens: Black New Orleans 6 credits
Founded as La Nouvelle-Orléans in 1718, New Orleans was an imperial arena for France, Spain, and the US. It has a unique, diverse heritage, and its motto, “Let the Good Times Roll,” champions joy for life. The Big Easy is a distinct space for African, African American, and Caribbean histories and cultures. Through the 20th century, one third or more of the city’s population has been Black. This course uncovers NOLA’s Black and Creole populations' lives from the 1700s to Hurricane Katrina, including enslaved people's resistance, cultural expressions (such as music, carnival, cuisine, and religious practices like Voodoo), environmental challenges, race, class, and gender.
