POLS 4343 Post-Colonialism
This class explores the history of imperialism in its political, economic, and cultural dimensions. Over the course of the semester, we will explore the importance of colonialism in the development and evolution of the international system, and its social structures, rules, and norms, the relationship between discourse and power in the representations and construction of identities, and the role of race, class, gender, and sexualities in the making of hierarchies. Additionally, we will examine the economic, social, and environmental impact of colonial rule, the forces behind decolonization, and globalization in the post-colonial world.
