POLS 5765 - Postcolonial Politics
This course introduces students to the study of postcolonial politics. The course poses questions on how communities relate to one another across the global North and South, historically and in the present: Is the world best described as comprising independent sovereign states, transnational and global networks, or relations of power and hierarchy? How have religion, race, gender, and diaspora populations affected politics in postcolonial contexts? Whose experiences best exemplify what it means to be a global citizen in the twenty first century? Readings include foundational texts and interdisciplinary approaches to postcolonial studies. Students complete the course with an understanding of the legacies of colonialism and the enduring political struggles of postcolonial societies.
