HIS 564SEM - Imperialism and Decol

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the study of modern European imperialismand its aftermath since the 18th century. It will not be a survey course and therefore ¿coverage¿will not be the aim. Rather it will be a somewhat eclectic sampling of different approaches to therise and fall of imperialism and an exploration of the main debates within the field. It is hopedthat students will gain a broadened understanding of the complex process of imperial expansionand retraction.
