1450 marks the time when peoples, ideas, material goods, and beliefs began to move on a regular basis across the Atlantic, first between Africa and Europe, and then later between Africa, North and South America, and the Caribbean. This course examines these movements and explores how West Africans managed their relations with the West over a 400-year period.
