International Studies 226 - Partition Societies

Institution:

Macalester College

Subject:

Description:

Sixty years ago, Palestine/Israel and India/East and West Pakistan were partitioned, and Ireland became a republic, all with deep national-ethnic-religious results for the postcolonial space. From a transnational comparative culture framework, this course explores these and other zones in terms of partition, pluralism, and citizenship. Considerations include territoriality, family and community definitions, memory, resistance, assimilation, and border-crossing, all in the context of categories such as gender, sex, race, and religion. Next offered in 2008-2009. (4 credits)
