Description
This module looks at empire by considering its impact not on the imperial powers, but on the colonised. It examines the European disregard for others in the early years of colonial expansion, before considering the damage done by extraction and warfare. It examines the ways in which colonies gained independence and the post-colonial violence that followed. It will also consider the ways in which modernity and globalisation have allowed certain actors and states to continue similar exploitative practices.
