HIST 2300 - European Overseas Encounters

Hours: 4
This course explores how Europeans and Westerners came to view other peoples and societies and how this helped define their view of what it was to be European. We start with the earliest European voyages to Africa and South America and compare and contrast the descriptions and viewpoints of these parts of the world with the beliefs and views Europeans developed about Asia before 1800. The course also examines how European viewpoints and identity shifted during the 19th century.
