Abstract: Explores the last 500 years of world history. In examining this large expanse of time, students focus on four related themes: struggles between Europeans and colonized peoples; the global formation of capitalist economies and industrialization; the formation of modern states; and the development of tastes and disciplines within bourgeois society. The Opium War, the French and Haitian Revolutions, and advertising are a few of the topics discussed. Almost all readings are documents from the periods under investigation.
