HISTORY 424 - a Colonial And Post Colonial South Asia

Institution:

University of Missouri-Kansas City

Subject:

Description:

South Asian historians have very effectively applied many new approaches to the studies of the past to modern Indian and Sri Lankan history. This course examines topics and debates in this literature as they bear on the methods and practices of the historian. The topics to be investigated include the nature of colonial rule, the nation-state, and ethnicity. Students will be introduced to issues of methodology, periodization and explanation posed by the relationship between colonial and post-colonial South Asia. The case studies will be drawn from twentieth century India and Sri Lanka, but the topics are of relevance to students of other regions and disciplines. Prerequisites: None. Offered. Fall. 3 hrs
