Description	In this module, students will study the formation of anti-imperial nationalism, beginning with a focus on the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) and independence movements in Latin America and reaching to the Algerian Revolution (1954-1962), the Cuban Revolution (1959-), and anti-imperial discourses of the mid-twentieth century. Drawing on both classic and recent scholarship, the course introduces students to a wide variety of different historical and anthropological approaches in cultural, social, diplomatic, political, environmental, and postcolonial and subaltern studies. Throughout, students will learn about the multiple meanings and interpretations of classic European Enlightenment ideals, nationalism, anti-imperial thought, revolutions, race and nation, gender and nation, communism, third-worldism, subaltern thought, and the Global South.
