Titel 10	Jamaica (EXAM THEME) Initially, the commonwealth was covered very briefly: The Commonwealth consists of 53 countries, and it was created when the colonization stopped, so almost all countries in the Commonwealth are former British colonies. The countries in the Commonwealth are independent and have their own language: Jamaican patois. The concept of the Rastafari-movement and the legacy of the Jamaican legend Bob Marley were also explored. Afterwards we covered the immigration waves from the Carribean to England. The focus was on immigrants from Jamaica from the 1950s and onward, including the Windrush generation and the Windrush scandal and the subsequent apology by then prime minister Theresa May. Lastly, we worked with the significance of the district of Brixton in London and the gentrification that this district has experienced in recent years. The course material consists of the following: "Rastafari Culture" (Blackhistorymonth.org.uk) “One Spliff A Day” (Natasja Saad) “Redemption Song” (Bob Marley) “What is Windrush and who are the Windrush generation?” (www.bbc.com ) Theresa May’s apology to Caribbean leaders (from 2018) “How has Brixton really changed? The data behind the story” (www.theguardian.com) “People forget the Windrush generation built Brixton - gentrification is erasing its history” (www.mylondonnews.com)

Titel 13	Transcendentalism (EXAM THEME) The course starts off by zooming in on the philosophical and literary movement transcendentalism, i.e. concepts such self-reliance, nonconformity and solitude. We read extracts from "Civil Disobedience" and "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau, one of the most important writers from the period of transcendentalism. Furthermore, we read chapter 1 and chapter 18 from the novel "Into the Wild", watched the movie-version of the novel and worked with the soundtrack of the movie. The connection between the period of transcendentalism and the main character of Into the Wild, Christopher McCandless, was established. Lastly, we worked with the legacy of "Into the Wild" by focusing on tragic cases in which people have died as a result of their fascination with life in the wilderness. The course material is the class compendium which consists of the following texts: Extracts from “Civil Disobedience” (1849) by Henry David Thoreau Chapter 5 from “Walden; Or, Life in the Woods” (1854) by Henry David Thoreau Chapter 1 and 18 from “Into the Wild” (1996) by Jon Krakauer Movie: “Into the Wild” (2007), Sean Penn The lasting legacy of “Into the Wild” – and the negligence of the local authorities – www.thehindu.com (2020)

Following this, we zoomed in on modern America as shaped by the Pax Americana-period. Thereafter we focused on how J.D. Vance’s "Hillbilly Elegy" can help explain why Trump was elected.
