Module description

This module looks comparatively at French, Italian and Spanish colonialism in North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya) during the high point of European imperialism between the late nineteenth and mid twentieth centuries. With an emphasis on comparing experiences of colonialism under different kinds of European rule, and different ideas and practices of empire in the colonial power, it addresses topics such as ideology, culture, violence, settler colonialism, and North African responses to European rule. It will ask to what extent we can identify common features of colonialism across the Western Mediterranean world, and consider lasting effects of colonial rule on both Africans and Europeans.
