Violence and (De)Colonization

3 credits · Undergraduate credit

This course contemplates violence and racialization in Frantz Fanon's anticolonial writings. We juxtapose contexts that are rarely read together from Algeria, to the Holocaust, the Nakba, and civil rights and settler colonialism in the US. The readings invite students to analyze violence, injustices, and racialization contextually, and locate patterns of solidarity between racialized individuals and communities.
