Postcolonial Studies: The Caribbean. Ever since Toussaint-L'Ouverture led the first successful modern slave rebellion in Haiti in the late eighteenth
century, defeating the armies of France, Britain, and Spain, the Caribbean has been a pivotal region in understanding the legacy of colonialism in the
Americas. In this course, we will examine, from an interdisciplinary and comparative framework, the long history of interaction between the Caribbean and
the West. Beginning with Christopher Columbus's 'discovery' of the New World, Europe's development of the Atlantic slave trade, and the world-changing
Haitian Revolution, we will follow the efforts of formerly colonized people of this region to forge new nations, cultures, and identities in the aftermath
of European imperialism. Topics likely to receive particular emphasis this semester include Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism, Rastafarianism and Obeah
(Voodoo), Bob Marley and Jamaican popular music, international capitalism and the tourist industry, and the role of Caribbean women in the struggle for
postcolonial identity and the development of a diasporic consciousness. Class meets collectively on the second meeting day every week with other GHS classes
scheduled at the same time.

Modernizing and Contemporary Europe. This course will study the early modern establishment of nation states, the Enlightenment advocacy of human rights and
constitutional government and the revolutionary movements to realize those ideas, the World Wars and the Cold War, and the establishment and expansion of
the European Union. Students who have taken one semester of GHS209 "Change and Tradition in Revolutionary Europe Colonial Nigeria" may not satisfy the
second semester of Global and Historical Studies with GHS203 "Modernizing and Contemporary Europe" due to an overlap in the material.
