SOC 072 PZ -Hidden: US & Soviet Colonialism

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Hidden in Plain Sight: U.S. and Soviet Colonialism This course examines the United States and the former Soviet Union through the lens of colonialism and empire. While largely invisible to members of both societies and surprisingly also overlooked by many social scientists, both the United States and the Soviet Union can readily be understood and analyzed as versions of colonialism and/or empire. The course will highlight similarities and differences between the two cases regarding a number of specific dimensions of colonial and imperial social relations. Readings and sources will include perspectives from Ukraine, Kazahkstan, and other former Soviet societies and American Indian nations and peoples
