HIST 20131. CRAFT OF HISTORY: RULERS AND REBELS IN EUROPEAN EMPIRES This course offers a critical examination of the European imperial expansion across the globe from the sixteenth century to the process of decolonization in the twentieth. We will explore the structures and ideologies through which these empires were constructed and will pay equal attention to those who resisted and challenged imperial rule. The class also serves to introduce students to critical tools of historical analysis, including historical research and historiography.[D, HSS, W]
