J. Weaver (cross-listed as GLOBALST 757)

This course considers how assorted types of colonizers working within a loosely-managed empire co-opted, dispersed, and displaced subject populations and cultures, attempted to restructure established civilizations, pursued economic and strategic opportunities, moved and managed people in conjunction with plans for “improvement”, diffused a language and array of ideas about law, justice and government, and distributed flora and fauna around the world.
