This history semester deals with the idea of white supremacy and how its effects on nations that were imperialized and colonized in Africa and Asia during the 1800s- a poem that supports white supremacy "The White Man's Burden" and political cartoons will be provided as an optional homework assignment for analysis-not because I support the concept, but to demonstrate the point of view of many Europeans and Americans during the late 1800s. Some political cartoons use symbolism that will be offensive to many learners but is important to analyze to understand the perception of many during the time period we will be studying. Again, the political cartoons are not a reflection of my personal views but are important to analyze if we are to understand how some concepts and ideas of privilege and prejudice continue today. In analyzing and discussing these historic images and ideas we can move to a common understanding of the issues many face today.
Week 7 focuses on the rise of Fascism across Europe as an effect of the economic depression and other issues discussed in earlier lessons. The lesson does not cover the sequence of Mussolini, Hitler, or Stalin's leadership, but focuses on the ideology of their government systems.
