Course Description:
European colonialism caused catastrophic societal transformations in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and activists have identified U.S. settler colonialism as an ongoing structure that continues to dispossess Indigenous nations of their land and sovereignty. In this course we will explore the origins of colonialism and its relationship to capitalism, the social changes brought about by colonialism, colonialism's enduring impact of social life, as well as anti-colonial thought and action from the 20th century to the present. We will also take a critical look at sociology's relationship to colonialism and the current movement towards a "post-" or "de-colonial" sociology. |
