| Description | What is an empire? Is the United States an empire? If so, how did it become an empire? What is colonialism? How is it different from colonization? These are just some of the questions we are dealing with throughout the semester. We are going to learn about the concept of "empire" (and all its attendant themes and topics such as colonialism, globalization, race, etc.) through the lens of Philippine colonial history. This course therefore provides you with a chance to learn not only about the culture and history of a non-U.S./non-Western country, but also the way empires are created and operate, especially how U.S. imperialism intersects with race.
