  3.00 Credits

  The University of Tennessee - Knoxville

  
  This course centers on the relationship between the practices of medicine and healing in the Age of Slavery (from the 16th century to Emancipation, mainly in the U.S. and the British Caribbean, with some readings on Cuba and Brazil). Our readings will begin with the West's construction of race as a physical, medical, and biological “fact.” We will contrast evidence of the realities of sickness under slavery and contemporary medical treatments with how enslaved communities used herbal healing traditions and other rituals employed to address afflictions of body and spirit. Finally, the class will consider the ethical implications of the intertwined history of slavery, race and science--and its legacies today.Satisfies Volunteer Core Requirement: (GCUS)
