* I present these eight themes or topics to you at the beginning of the course. You'll find them in these and many, many other novels and literature from formerly colonial countries.

In addition, here are Links to other sites that are relevant to our course. This is really what you'll find on the rest of this page -- you can get to the other materials by "jumping" from the links above

Imperialism

Here are some good readings that will help you understand the concept of imperialism, how it works, and how important it is to understand it if you are to ever understand what's going on in the world!

Email me with comments, criticisms, questions, problems.


PLEASE NOTE:

1. You must have at least two e-mail addresses for this course. 

2. You MUST use the MSU mail email account for this course. It is "free" -- i.e. you have already paid for it in your tuition.

To set up this account, go here.

NOTE: To use your MSU email, go to http://webmail.montclair.edu

You also need a second email account, for emergency use only, in case the MSU mail server breaks down. If you don't have one already, you can get free email.

To get  free web-based e-mail, go to one of these two indexes:

3. You must have at least two ISPs for this course, in case one of them "goes down." You are responsible for emailing your work on time even if your ISP is not working. So, you have to have at least two of them.

4. You MUST set up the MSU ISP on your home/dorm computer. It is "free" too (already paid for).

To set up the MSU ISP, go here.

You will need to use the MSU ISP to access some of the databases we will use in this course.

5. You will also need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader on your home/dorm computer. (It is already on all the computer lab computers at MSU). Download it from this page.

IMPORTANT:   Whenever you email me, use the proper subject line:

                   Subj: Yourlastname  WL   date assignment is due

For example, if your last name is 'Robertson' and your are emailing me the assignment for September 22,

                    Subj: Robertson  WL  September 22 (or, 9/22, or Sp 22, etc.)

If you don't, I'll forward your e-mail right back to you.

Be sure to "send a copy to yourself" of ALL your homework assignments!
