Goal for Today• Today’s class is designed to introduce us to the
concept of imperialism and its associated modes of control.
• Specifically, we will answer the following questions:– What different forms of control characterize imperialism?– Based on an understanding of these forms of control, what is imperialism?
Task for Today• To answer these questions you will examine a
variety of sources that each speak in subtle ways to the forms of control exhibited in imperialism.
• We will look at these sources across 3 stations:– Station 1: Grammaire Ronga– Station 2: Map of Colonies and Protectorates in
Africa around 1914– Station 3: Collection of photos of the British in India
• For each station you will:– Identify different forms of control described in the
source– Write down a representative phrase, descriptor,
concept or imagery that captures the heart of what the source reveals
Whole Class Discussion: What kinds of control did you
see?
Whole Class Discussion:
How do these forms of control cohere? How can we group
them?
Partner Work
• Read the pieces on coercive power and hegemony.
• Define coercive power and hegemony.
• When you finish with your partner, we will discuss as a whole class.
Whole Class Discussion:
Apply these theoretical frameworks of control to the specific examples we saw in
our stations. Where do we see each?
Whole Class Discussion: What is Imperialism?
Whole Class Discussion:
This unit will focus on the development of a system that linked industrialized nations and
non-industrialized nations and regions through varying patterns of control. Given what you know about imperialism and what you know
about control so far, why do you think imperialism required these types of control?
As we learn more this unit, think about how these forms of control play out and why and how
this process is complicated by the role of race and economics.
