WiSe 23/24: Minority Rights: A Global History
Roy Bar Sadeh
Kommentar
Minority rights are grounded today in national and international commitments to the protection of numerically small, persecuted, or exiled groups across the globe. While this idea is typically traced back to seventeenth-century debates over religion in Western Europe, this course explores minority rights in Asia within a global historical moment that saw the shift from empire to nation-state, the rise of organized anticolonialism, and international solidarities, as well as new formations of ongoing political exclusion, segregation, and violence. The seminar reorients our focus from Europe to Asia, where the minority question came to have significant political and social implications since the mid-nineteenth century and the expansion of various European colonial powers to this continent. Involving close readings of secondary literature and translated primary texts from different Asian contexts, students will interrogate the plural roles of “minority” from comparative and interconnected perspectives across different registers, from formal political institutions to everyday expressions of identity, without overlooking minority rights’ pre-colonial antecedents. By the end of the class, the students will gain extensive knowledge about modern Asian history, as well as the regional and international implications of one of the most important socio-political ideas of our time.
