POLS-475 Radical & Revolutionary Political Thought
This course focuses on those political thinkers, such as socialists, feminists, anarchists, pacifists, and ecologists, who have opposed established order and sought to change it. Topics covered include utopian visions (e.g., Owen, Morris, Bellamy, Gilman), criticism of existing institutions (Wollstonecraft, Marx, Fanon, de Beauvoir) and strategies for change (Goldman, Malcolm, Lenin, Cabral). The emphasis is on reading original theoretical works, with several writings assignments. Normally offered every third year.
