HIST 96.41 Afterlives of Empire – Migration, Race, and Decolonization in Postwar Europe
This seminar explores the profound impact decolonization had on modern Europe. We will explore how the collapse of European colonialism from the 1940s onward, particularly subsequent migrations from Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, influenced European approaches to welfare, policing, gender and sexuality, and international politics. Students will write a 25-page research paper on a topic of their choice.
