Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1176 This course analyzes the first phase of globalization in world history, a complex historical process rooted in the ancient and medieval worlds, initiated and consolidated from the mid-fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries, and redefined over the course of the eighteenth century as the “early modern” era drew to a close. During the first half of the semester, we will examine Asia, Africa and the Americas prior to the emergence of Iberian (Portuguese and Spanish) colonialism. In the second half of the semester we will assess the increasingly interconnected world negotiated in the centuries after 1492, a useful though controversial date signifying the start of sustained European overseas expansionism and the construction of a world linked in unprecedented ways. The course concludes with an investigation into the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), the first successful anti-colonial revolution in world history and one of several late-eighteenth century popular rebellions signaling the dawn of modernity.
