Colonial Identities and the Legacy of Empire
This course will explore the role that European, but particularly French and British, colonialism played in the shaping of ethnic and national identities. One aim of the course is to find the commonalities between British and French models of colonialism; another will be to understand the varieties of the colonial experience within the British and French colonial empires.
We will examine how and to what extent these imperial powers sought to impose their cultures upon colonized populations, the impact of colonialism on the colonial powers themselves, and the reactions of the colonized, both in the colonies themselves and in the Metropoles. We will not just consider political developments, but will study changes in science, art, literature, architecture and film.
