Description: This course will explore European encounters and incursions in what was once called the Third World. Our story begins in 1952 when Alfred Sauvy, a French demographer, wrote of “three worlds, one planet” in an article published in L’Observateur. Over the course of the semester, we will follow Europe’s shifting place in the world during the era of decolonization. Course readings will emphasize the perspectives of both colonizers and the colonized, and will include memoirs, travelogues, and classic critiques of colonialism. We will focus on the ongoing effects of European colonialism on ecology, ethnography, and religion in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
