Global Britain
This course focuses on the development of Britain into its status today as a superdiverse and, to some extent, convivial society. Firstly, the theme looks briefly - as a backdrop - at Britain's migration history. Then follows an introduction to the Windrush Generation including background reading, a letter representing the immigrants from former colonies arriving in Britain in the 50s, and a film dealing with the recent Windrush Scandal. The next part centers on invisible forms of racism. Central concepts are introduced through background reading, a short story, an article, and a short film. Finally, the terms “superdiversity” and “conviviality” are dealt with using background reading and an analysis of two poems and a song/music video.
