ANTH 1323 - The Culture and Politics of Colonial Cities: Migration, Markets and the Diaspora

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Two colonial powers (British Empire and Portuguese) form the basis for this comparative approach to unravel and comprehend how the colonial policies differed in the two regions. Colonial cities have a special mystique, and studying them in the present unravels socio-historical and political connections to make the present more meaningful. For the post-colonialism, we address migration and the Diaspora, the participation of the groups under analysis in transnational economy and in local and global markets. In focusing on the Diaspora, we will seek to tie the history and cultural development to the wider issue of Diaspora and the displacement of people, the search for opportunities, migration and the global markets.
