Class Time: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:00 AM-11:15 AM of the
Course: The British Empire took a leading role in globalization
throughout the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. In this course we
will investigate how the British and various colonized peoples
made the empire together. At the same time, we will study the
various tensions and forces that made empire difficult and
eventually impossible to sustain. Along the way, we will
familiarize ourselves with various interpretations of
imperialism, sample the empire's impact on art and literature,
confront some of the moral dilemmas associated with the empire,
and come to understand why the empire inspired such devotion and
hatred among people throughout the world. As your register,
