* 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.

How To Inform Me of Your Absence (preferably beforehand, but no later than the same day).

Email me at furrg - AT - mail.montclair.edu, with the following Subject line:

Lastname WL01 [date of class you are absent] Absent

For example:

Subject: Robinson WL01  February 23  Absent

That way I'll be able to recognize, file, and later find, your email, and so give you credit for an "excused absence."

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. 

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:

2. 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  WL01   date assignment is due

                   The "WL' tells me which class your email comes from.


TFor example, if your last name is 'Robertson' and your are emailing me the assignment for the class on February 23,

                    Subj: Robertson  WL01  February 23 (or, 2/23, or Feb.  23, etc.)

Note: NO YEAR! Please do not put the YEAR in your subject line!

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