Rise of Empires: History Through Film

Can film provide valid insight into our past? How do we understand film as historical artifact? This course tries to answer these questions and many others by exploring films which deal with early European imperialism, that is, from the time of Columbus to the end of the First World War. The topics will be international in scope, drawing on aspects of Asian, African, and Latin American history, and examining both "blockbuster" and independent films.
