Section Info:
Description: This course provides a survey of East Asian history from the time when Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism provided the dominant worldview through the turbulent period of imperialism, colonialism, nationalism, and industrialization to the region’s recent resurgence. Across this sweep of time, you will encounter a variety of historical sources that introduce you to all manner of people - the high, the low, women, men, outcasts, foreigners, and ethnic minorities. The sum of these voices and their experiences will provide you with a broad understanding of the historical processes and people that shaped and continue to inform East Asia today.
