About this course

This course explores the history of Cuba from two particular perspectives. First, we aim to understand big ideas and processes, such as slavery, emancipation, liberalism and socialism through the lives of ordinary people. This means thinking about how everyday life and the state and its institutions are related to one another and shape each other. The other point of reference for this course rests beyond national borders: what has Cuba meant to people outside, and how have they interpreted its turbulent history? These are broad historical questions, and the methods we develop as we think about them will be relevant to you in other courses. We will rely on a variety of sources, including monographs, fiction, photography, sound and film, with a consistent ear to the relevance of narrative and memory to the production of historical knowledge.
