HIST 1900A: History of Zombies
Winter 2024
Instructor: Prof. Mark Anderson
Introduction: Zombies are real. This course explores how this is so, first, by considering zombies in historical context, with a particular focus on Haiti and the American occupation of Haiti. Second, the course explores imaginary zombies since the release of the film White Zombie (1932), tracing their origins, again, to the American occupation of Haiti.
