IIS 075 PZ -Introduction to Postcolonial Studies

Institution: Pitzer

Description: An exploration of the ways in which resistance to colonization has shaped colonized peoples and colonizers alike past and present. Social movement websites, films analytical readings, and short fiction will survey various perspectives (Marxism, postmodernism, feminism, queer theory) on postcolonial studies. The course will introduce methods of constructing seemingly “natural” objects (nation, landscape, historical fact, women) in ways that decolonize social and material relations and knowledge.

Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
