HIST-UA 195 - Liberal Visions of Empire

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

A lecture course exploring the changing relationship between British liberal thought and Britain's expanding empire from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Liberal conceptions of equality and freedom are generally understood to be fundamentally antiimperialistic in impulse, as historically complicit with imperialist agendas, and as inherently and logically disposed to imperialist domination. The course attempts to put these different claims into historical context and to periodize their applicability.
