HIST 012 PZ - History of the Human Sciences
Formerly HIST 022 PZ
The social and behavioral sciences-economics, sociology, political science, anthropology and psychology- structure our experience so completely that we sometimes take them for granted. The great division of intellectual labor that these “human sciences” represent can seem so natural and so logical, that it is sometimes hard to imagine a world without them. But these disciplines did not always exist. In exploring their histories, we simultaneously ask about the contingency of our world and about how it might be different. It is a history of the present.

HIST 016 PZ - Environmental History
For some, environmental history recounts humanity’s long encounter with nature; for others, it is the changing story of the land itself; for still others, it is an account of humanity’s changing ideas about nature and wilderness. In this course we will familiarize ourselves with all of these approaches. The course, which is global in scope, surveys materials from the past five centuries. Major themes include: the history of globalization and industrialization, ecological imperialism, the history of ecology, the idea of wilderness, science and environment and global environmental change.

HIST 017 PZ - History and Political Economy of Natural Resources
Also IIS 017 PZ ) This course surveys the modern history and political economy of natural resources. Though we will focus on gold, diamonds and oil, the course also addresses larger issues of resource exploitation within specific historical, political and economic settings. We begin with the so-called “scramble for Africa,” when European nations carved up Africa between them at the Berlin Conference in 1885. This scramble for Africa and its resources was later extended to other regions of the non-western world, such as the Middle East. The course will then explore the role of natural resources in internal and global conflicts, from the colonial to the post-colonial periods, focusing on how those conflicts played themselves out in Africa and the Middle East.

HIST 024 PZ - A History of Modern Africa
To understand Africa as it exists today, one must be able to place current issues within the broader historical trends that have dominated the continent’s past. Accordingly, this course will provide an introduction to the history of modern Sub-Saharan Africa from the build-up to European conquest in the late nineteenth century, through colonization and decolonization to issues facing Africans today. Themes to be explored include: African societies and cultures on the eve of conquest; European imperial ideologies, explorers, and missionaries; African resistance against-and collaboration with-colonial projects; strategies of colonial rule; colonial education; cash-cropping and famine; African workers in colonial cities; gender, sexuality, and family life; health and healing; race, class and citizenship; nationalism and decolonization; post-independence economic crises and “development”; conflict and globalization.

HIST 045 PZ - West African History through Novels and Film
West Africa is a region with a rich, fascinating, though often tumultuous history. Legendary medieval empires, Islam, and Christianity, slavery and the slave trade, colonial rule, the formation of nation-states, and crises of war and poverty-these episodes have all shaped the historical experiences of West Africans. Fortunately for those studying West Africa today, this history has been captured with quite extraordinary skill by its novelists and filmmakers. Men and women such as Chinua Achebe, Buchi Emecheta, and Ousmane Sembene have greatly enriched our understanding of the region through their art. This course, therefore, will examine the history of West Africa through novels and films.

HIST 066 PZ - Oral History: Methodology and Practice
This course explores how scholars have used oral history methodologies to reconstruct the pasts of communities and individuals who are not frequently represented in typical historical sources. The gathering of oral histories-from women, freed slaves, colonized people, gays and lesbians, and other disadvantaged groups-has thus resulted in new understandings of historical processes. Not only will students be introduced to oral history methodologies, but they will also design and conduct oral history projects.

HIST 073 PZ - The Problem with Profit
As capitalism emerged in Europe (ca. 1150-1600), this controversial idea and the actual accumulation of wealth in communities provoked many responses. This course begins by exploring theories about the development of capitalism. It then examines theological and political debates involving wealth and profit, the social groups who supported or condemned capitalism and cultural responses to inequalities of wealth.

HIST 074 PZ - Holiness, Heresy and the Body
What was holiness to pre-modern Europe? How was it expressed physically. What made someone a saint rather than a heretic or a witch? How did the relationship between sanctity and the body change in Europe from waning days of the Roman Empire to 1600 C.E.? What are the connections between such people and the evolution of Christianity in Europe? In order to answer these questions, we will study people either praised or holy or condemned as heretics and how their contemporaries figured out the difference. We will examine the significance of gender, attitudes toward body and mind, charisma, social status and relationships to supernatural or divine powers.

HIST 089 PZ - The Sixties
Also ANTH 089 PZ
This course will examine the now much mythologized period of American history known as “the sixties.” It will inevitably deal with the sordid history of “sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll,” as well as histories of revolting youth. But just as importantly, the course will be driven by three theoretical questions. First, what is the relationship between the political activism of bourgeois youth in the “the sixties” and ritualized processes of social reproduction, experienced as the transition from “childhood” to “adulthood”? Second, what is the relationship between the leftist politics of “the sixties” and the historical formation of professional managerial classes in U.S. and world history? And third, how do singular events-such as the decade’s iconic assassination of President John F. Kennedy-articulate with cultural schemas?
Prerequisite(s): HIST 021 PZ/ANTH 021 PZ or concurrent enrollment in HIST 021 PZ/ANTH 021 PZ.

HIST 098 PZ - The Modern State and History: the Israeli Case
This seminar examines relationships between the Israeli state and historical remembering, particularly in regard to four moments: (i) the reported exile following the Bar Kokhba revolt of the second century, (ii) the Holocaust, (iii) the establishment of the Israeli state, and (iv) the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The seminar’s examination of the Israeli state’s relationship to historical remembering is preceded by consideration of (i) the scholarly literature on the social construction of races, nations, and peoples, and (ii) debates about the desirability of “neutrality” and “balance” in courses on controversial, potentially incendiary topics (such as this course, obviously). Materials used in the course include films (such as, “A Film Unfinished,” “Paradise Now,” and “Gatekeeepers”), as well as readings by such figures as Nadia Abu El-Haj, Rashid Khalidi, Amos Oz, Edward Said, and Shlomo Sand. The seminar concludes by considering what the Israeli case tells us more generally about modern states and historical remembering.
Prerequisite(s): HIST 011 PZ /ANTH 011 PZ or (in exceptional cases) permission of the instructor.

This course will examine both the politics and practice of United States history teaching. It will explore how the California State standards for U.S. history came to be and the sometimes problematic classroom relation between history and “social studies.” In the first half of the course, students will attend lectures and examine primary documents related to the period 1929-1945. In the second half of the course, students will prepare for and serve an intensive internship in a Pomona high school history classroom, including preparation and presentation of one lesson plan on the period we’ve studied.
Prerequisite(s): A prior college-level course in U.S. history (such as HIST 025 PZ /HIST 026 PZ ) is desirable, but not required.

HIST 132 PZ - Marx in Context
Despite his lasting importance as a social critic and political thinker, Karl Marx is rarely appreciated as an observer of his own world. In this course, we will read Marx in the context of nineteenth-century Europe. As a working journalist, Marx was intimately familiar with the great movements and upheavals of his time. We follow him from the quiet German towns and idealist philosophy of his youth, to the great revolutionary metropolis of mid-century Paris, to the blaring factories of industrial Manchester and up through the unification of Germany. We will use Marx’s writings to make sense of that world, while, at the same time, attention to the history of nineteenth-century Europe will help us interpret his writings.

HIST 138 PZ - Seeking Human Nature: The History and Science of Innateness.
(also PSYC 138 PZ). “Human nature” has long been invoked to understand and justify our behaviors. After the advent of Darwinian evolution and Mendel’s gene theory, however, the notion of “instinct” gained authority, reshaping categories like “race” and “nature.” We will track that shift and examine its effects on political economy and social policy.

HIST 142 PZ - Slavery and Slave Trading in Africa and Beyond
Most people associate the word “slavery” with the enslavement and forced migration of African people to the Americas in the early modern era. Though this course does not overlook the momentous nature of this development in world history-and will thus examine it in detail-it also seeks to broaden our knowledge of slavery and slave trading by treating them as worldwide phenomena that date back to the classical age and remain with us still today. Accordingly, this course will consider: the definition of slavery and other forms of servile labor; the institutions and experiences of slavery in diverse historical contexts, especially in Africa and South Asia; why Africans were traded as slaves to the Americas and how this trade affected culture and society in Africa; and, lastly, the continuation of human trafficking in the modern world after the supposed “end of slavery.”

HIST 144 PZ - Death and Dying in Africa and the Diaspora
How do death and dying influence identity and power relations among the living? This course seeks to probe this important question by investigating diverse historical contexts in African and African Diasporic life. This course considers how ideas about death and dying, and the “mortuary politics” they engender, have changed over time in Africa and the diaspora. Questions pertaining to hierarchies of power under European colonialism in the New World and in Africa are also analyzed extensively. It also considers the roles of Islam and Christianity in the diverse social meanings tied to the final rite of passage. Jr./Sr. only; others by permission.

HIST 148 PZ - Gender in African History
Drawing on diverse historical case studies, life histories, biography, and film, this course examines the broad topic of gender in Africa through such themes as power and gendered rituals of transformation; slavery and the impact of trans-continental slave trades; colonial encounters; European constructions of black female sexuality; changes in African marriage practices and the meaning of marriage; same-sex relationships and homophobia; work, culture, and migrancy; women’s bodies and intimate colonial interventions- medical and moral; ethnicity and nationalism; poverty, famine, and the environment; and the social context of HIV/AIDS, its spread, and its prevention. The course will also discuss whether the application of western categories of gender is useful for understanding and analyzing the experiences of African men and women.

HIST 152 PZ - Down and Out: The Great Depression, 1929-1941
The economic depression triggered by the stock market crash of 1929 was no fluke-it had been building in the global economy ever since World War I. Yet, when it came, it descended on Americans with a peculiar swiftness and with a severity that was relieved only by a second world war. This seminar course inquires into the causes of the depression, the ways Americans coped (or failed to cope) with it and the psychological scars it left on its generation. In 2010-11, the course included a significant emphasis on the literature of the Depression decade.
Prerequisite(s): Some familiarity with U.S. history (HIST 026 PZ or similar introductory course) is strongly recommended, but not required. First-year students and sophomores with permission of instructor only.

HIST 156 PZ - American Empire: 1898 & After
The Spanish-American War of 1898 inaugurated more than a century of American adventurism abroad and gave the U.S. its first taste of colonial administration. Starting with a look at turn-of-the-century theorists of empire, we will examine the war in its domestic political and cultural context, then turn to its subsequent ramifications for both colonizer and colonized-including a brief consideration of present-day imperial dreams.

HIST 170 PZ - Hybrid Identities: Spanish Empire
In the Spanish Empire, many distinct peoples coexisted under one king and together created a diverse imperial society. This seminar examines the ways that religion, ethnicity, language, law and space defined or failed to define people in the Spanish Empire. We will pay particular attention to the processes of cultural encounter, domination, resistance and adaptation that formed identity. The course begins in Spain, exploring interactions between “old Christian” Spaniards, Jewish people converted to Christianity and Muslims converted to Christianity. We then turn to colonial Latin America and the Philippines to consider interactions between Spaniards and indigenous peoples such as Aztec, Inca, Maya, and Tagalog Filipinos.

HIST 181 PZ - Explorations in Deep Time
At the end of the seventeenth century, the bottom dropped out of time. Those accustomed to thinking of the Earth and of humanity, according to biblical timescales now had to confront the possibility of “deep time,” the possibility of a time whose magnitude defied the imagination. We will examine that shift and its consequences, as it played itself out through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with ramifications into the present.

HIST 188 PZ - Anxiety in the Age of Reason
Many enlightenment authors expressed confidence in the relentless progress of knowledge, but they also exuded skepticism and unease about reason. New questions about nature and new approaches to studying it, unleashed fears about humanity’s place in the world. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz worried that the specter of infinite time might eliminate the need for God; David Hume doubted the necessity of cause and effect; Immanuel Kant limited reason to make way for faith. Each of these writers used reason to question the religious and metaphysical foundations of knowledge. But reason also created its own fears. This course is about those fears and what lay behind them.
