Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, eleven million Africans were enslaved and forced to cross the Atlantic Ocean. This course is an investigation of the cultural, commercial and literary history of that journey, which came to be known as the Middle Passage. Reading a wide range of works, we will think about the role of the archive in the study of history, and the limitations of evidence-based methods of historiography in the special case of the Middle Passage. In turning to literature as a legitimate source of historical knowledge, we will also ask how we know and what we cannot know.
