HH2021 RACE, GENDER, CLASS & COLONIAL POWER

In HH2021, you will examine various dimensions of colonial power by exploring the history of the British Empire. Colonial rule had important impacts upon colonised societies; thus, understanding colonialism is important to understanding our contemporary post-colonial moment. This course will equip you with the skills you need to critically examine colonialism through analytical frameworks of race, gender and class. You will be introduced to recent shifts in the historiography of colonialism and will appraise a variety of approaches to the subject. Race, Gender, Class and Colonial Power will also deepen your skills in interpreting and analysing visual and written primary source materials.
