This distance learning course examines the relationship between imperialism and culture from the period of European expansion and colonialism to the post-colonial era.
In recent years academic interest in imperialism has moved beyond the traditional focus on economic and political concerns. There has been more interest in cultures of imperialism and their legacy in the postcolonial era.

* Soviet imperialism
