| Course Title: Topics in Asian History: 'Anticolonial Perspectives from South Asia' |
| Start Date: 09/07/2022 End Date: 12/20/2022 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2022 |
| Description: This seminar will examine anti-colonial perspectives that influenced not only the twentieth century movements for decolonization and independence, but also profoundly shaped struggles for equality and justice within South Asian societies. We will do a close reading of seminal works of political leaders and underground revolutionaries, reformists and radicals, poets and intellectuals. In doing so, the course will think through entanglements between individual and collective liberation, religion and secularism, and ethics and politics, across the intersections of caste, gender, and religion in rapidly modernizing societies. |
