HIS 229A Pacific Worlds
This seminar examines the Pacific as a deep source of culture, knowledge, exploitation, and conflict. Such a perspective not only centers the spaces and peoples of Oceania, Asia, and the Americas, but also highlights a diverse sea-based geography of interactions and processes, such as seafaring, fishing, trade, labor, colonialism, capitalism, knowledge production, militarization, and decolonization. Readings include long-historical, transregional, interdisciplinary, and intercultural perspectives.
