LILH 202H - Honors:Human Traditions

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Lib Learn/Human Trad-H

Description:

This is the history/political science Human Traditions honors course. It focuses on one central theme: European Hegemony or domination and the making of the modern world system. It is not a traditional historical survey, nor a comprehensive outline of world history. Rather it has two conceptual and historical objectives. The first objective of this course is to introduce students to critical thinking about Eurocentrism, colonialism and nationalism. The second objective is to make students globally aware of the hidden interconnections and linkages that have tied us together in the process of the making of the modern world system. We will explore some of the diverse human traditions such as the re-conquest of Spain and its dominant influence in the Americas and the colonial force that was England and France which dominated much of Africa and its resources up to the 20th century.
