| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2453 This course analyzes the complex histories, shifting geographies, and unequal relationships of power denoted by the term Global South, a designation that maps unevenly onto the formerly colonized regions of Latin America, Africa and Asia. As we shall see, the term is also at times used to describe marginalized populations and places within the Global North, a convenient though not entirely accurate label for todays relatively rich and developed world regions. A basic concern of the course will be to assess how colonialism and its legacies have influenced world history, including the production of knowledge. Our collective goal will be to develop new ways of thinking about our pasts, presents and futures.
