Still have room in your fall 2013 academic schedule? Check out HIST 6641.10 Modern Southeast Asia taught by Professor Shawn McHale.
This course centers on the modern transformation of
Southeast Asia from the mid-18th century to the end of the 1970s, with some
attention paid to contemporary issues as well.
This course attempts, in comparative fashion, to explore the dynamics of
nationalism, revolution, state formation, and social change in mainland,
maritime, and upland Southeast Asia. The course will also touch on a host of
other themes: the changing character of the state, the impact of colonial rule,
ethnic relations, decolonization and war, the postcolonial world, war and
violence, and economic transformations.
This will be a reading seminar that does not presume a
background in Southeast Asian studies. Readings
address developments in the major countries of the region.
