FEMGEN 101A: Indigeneity and Colonialism (AMSTUD 101A, CSRE 101A)
This course charts processes of imperialism and colonization and their joint impact on indigeneous peoples worldwide. By looking at the history of colonialism with a focus on its impact on indigenous communities and other communities of color through the processes of conquest, slavery, genocide, the exploitation of human and natural resources, and the legacy of colonization embedded in contemporary systems of oppression, students will gain an understanding of the complexity of these systems, as they continue to impact marginalized communities in the Americas, Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Trans-Pacific region, and the Middle East. The course concludes with studies in decolonial projects and the emergence of epistemologies from the Global South as methods for countering the histories of empire and colonization.
