GHS 209 - Revolutionary Europe and Colonial Nigeria

Min Units: 3
Max Units: 3
This course explores the cultural traditions of Europe and Nigeria and their confrontations with modernity in the 19th and 20th centuries. The old order ends in violence, and a new order emerges, shaped by the forces of democracy, science, capitalism, and imperialism. Those who have taken GHS 203 (“Modernizing and Contemporary Europe”) may not satisfy the second semester of GHS with GHS 209 (“Revolutionary Europe and Colonial Nigeria”) due to overlap in the material.
