ASN 460 Colonialism, Conflict, & Culture
The British Empire spanned continents—Asia, Africa, the Americas, including islands in the Western Pacific, the Caribbean, and beyond. This course will explore the history and legacy of British colonialism in the areas of religion, culture, and conflict, all the while thinking about how capital interests shaped the way the empire collected, looted, controlled, and sowed division in its colonies and the Metropole. Students will become familiar with the characteristics of imperialism, colonialism, and its enduring legacies.
