A broad transnational framework allows you to combine African, American, British and Indian history under the guidance of leading researchers in English, History, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American studies. YouÕll be trained in historical research methods and use varied materials such as novels, films, speeches, newspapers and organisational records to explore issues of race and resistance across very different periods and cultures.

Supported by the Institute for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, you could study the slave trade, Mexican-American identity, race and feminism in the US, political violence in India or apartheid, among many others. ItÕs a fascinating and vital opportunity to gain an understanding of the roles that race and resistance have played in shaping the modern world Ð and how this complex relationship is evolving.

The Race and Resistance degree is offered by the University of Leeds.
