In this course we will move toward not a postcolonialism that transcends colonialism, but thinking with those who work toward a practice of decolonial thinking. While there have been many empires which have plundered pre-existing cultures and civilizations, modern colonialism did more than extract tribute, goods and wealth from conquered countries. It restructured economies, societies, languages, histories. Thus, while political colonialism is over in many locales, economic and cultural colonialism reverberate within both former colonies and colonizing countries. Postcolonial theorists write from the margins of and in resistance to reverberating colonial cultural productions.

The U.S. is mono-cultural in its structural institutions such as the law, along with the way it represents itself. It is multicultural in that it is made up of peoples of many different cultures all of whom have contributed in significant ways to its formation and continued existence. In this class we will explore the difference between ornamental and structural multiculturalism. While liberal multiculturalism ignores asymmetries of power, we are going to take up polycentric multiculturalism, a multiculturalism that recognizes many centers and the racial, gendered, and classed structural framings of our worlds of sense.
