  • HTY 250: History of China

    3.00 Credits
    University of Maine at Machias

    Rather than identify one China, this course aims to assemble as many disparate elements of the Chinese past as possible, thereby complicating what is otherwise simplified as the world's longest continuous "civilization." One of the central themes is the question of daily life, or the lived experience of different groups within Chinese society. Focusing on issues of daily life will allow us to avoid imagining China as a monolithic structure marked only by a succession of dynasties and gain a better insight into the tensions that have formed Chinese society. Prerequisite: HTY 115 and 116, or permission of instructor. 3 Cr
