Description:

Ghosh. This course will operate concurrently at three levels. First we will critically consider theories of social change, drawing on anthropology, history and sociology. Second we will examine the complex interrelationships between nationstates/nationalism on the one hand and migration/population flows on the other. The third and final level will be an intensive investigation of the 1947 Partition of British India, which led to the creationof the Republics of India and Pakistan (and later Bangladesh).The goal, here, will be to situate the partition within the literatures on social change, nationalism and migration. Requirements include multiple class presentations and two major papers - the second of which will entail original research.
