HIS3014 ST: Overthrowing Empire

This course examines some of the most significant decolonization movements of the 20th century, exploring the breakdown and overthrow of colonial and imperil government in the provinces of the British, Spanish, and Japanese empires, and of the French colonial regimes. We will consider cases from various contexts: Africa, East Asia, the Middle East, Central America. Topics include the growth of national identity, armies, education, and statecraft, and the rise of ethnonationalism. As we think about the impact of arbitrary national borders drawn by western powers, we will also look at the role of violence, both colonial violence and the violence of the colonized. Readings include Franz Fanon, Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Lata Mani, and Amitav Ghosh. Credits: 3.000
