SUMMARY:A Crash Course on Colonialism\, Capitalism\, and the History of Canada
DESCRIPTION:How and why did colonialism develop in the regions that became Canada? What role did capitalism play in the coming of colonialism? What effect did this have on indigenous peoples and in what was the role of anti-colonial struggle?  \nWhat can the history of these and other resistance movements tell us about the possibility of a better future? How did class struggles that challenged capitalism develop? What was their relationship to indigenous opposition to colonialism? \nIn this introductory course\, we will be engaging critically with these and many other aspects of colonialism and Canadian history. The history of colonialism and modern injustice against indigenous people is rightly a motivating issue for many. The structures and systems that led to such monumental injustices must be understood\, especially by those who believe that a fundamentally better world is possible. So\, too\, it is crucial to understand the exploitation and oppression endured by working people as Canada became an advanced capitalist nation state.  \nAll are warmly invited to join us for this special 4-part series\, led by renowned historian\, author\, and professor\, Bryan Palmer. The course will be largely based on Palmer’s recent three volume series examining colonialism\, capitalism\, and the legacy of Canada’s past. For an overview of the series\, please see this excellent interview with Palmer conducted by Adam King of the Maple.  \nEach session will feature a lecture\, followed by discussion and group exercises. No previous knowledge of the subject or formal education required! \nWhen: Sunday afternoons at 2pm: June 21\, June 28\, July 5\, and July 12.\nWhere: Downtown Toronto – Venue to be shared with registrants\nCost: Free – $10/session donation suggested\nHow: Registration required
