INTS 259 - The Colonial City

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Born as trading centers, colonial cities grew into bifurcated social zones (the colonizer's city and the city of the colonized). Algiers, Batavia, Calcutta, Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro, Singapore are a few celebrated examples. We will trace the history of these cities, the way they were built and the way they were represented, as well as the kinds of popular urban cultures that grew across the segregated spaces, and the anti-colonial movements within the cities that incubated new forms of national urbanism. 1.00 units, Lecture
