HIST 102 - Revolt in History

A course about “revolt” in history. The historical record is replete with episodes of revolt. Revolt has taken multifarious forms in the past, from the commonplace slave, peasant, and anticolonial insurgencies to the often more peaceful but no less monumental rebellions against objectionable or oppressive norms and customs, notable examples of which include feminism and the youth counter culture of the 1960s. The multiplicity of revolt’s forms is matched by the variety of its outcomes and ramifications. Sometimes revolt has succeeded and ushered in dramatic social, economic, and political changes, other times it has met with failure but still managed to serve as inspiration for future generations of rebels.

The course may be repeated for additional credits as long as there is no duplication of topics covered by previous enrollments under this course number.
