This course begins in pre-colonial Africa before crossing the Atlantic to look at the experiences of African Americans, Native Americans, women and trade unionists. We also look at how Britain changed across the 20th century. We look at different sources, from Churchill’s speeches to African art; we also debate the work of historians.
