\nYour first research assignment in HIST 20 is to consider specific, human
\nexperiences of imperialism with special attention placed on one new medium of
\nthe early 20th century: photography.
\nBriefly, you will describe in approximately 1100 words, citing from assigned
\nreadings and Wikipedia (see details below), the experiences of one community of
\npeople in one imperial system (American, Belgian, British, Chinese, Dutch,
\nFrench, German, Italian, Japanese, Ottoman, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish) in
\none place (South Africa, the American West, the Philippines, Belgian Congo,
\netc.). Following themes from the class, explore how this community participated
\nin, resisted, or even enforced imperial rule. Then, describe two historic
\nphotographs with citations that tell us something about this community\u2019s
\nexperiences.
\nGuidelines for developing an A+ paper:
\n1) You must draw multiple points from at least two of the assigned readings
\n\u2013 R01 through R19. A+ papers will exhibit extra intellectual creativity in
\nbringing in as many points from assigned readings as possible to describe
\none community and one empire. Each paragraph should feature four to
\nfive points with citations. Use the following style for in-line citations:
\n(R03, p. 43); (Wikipedia, \u201cBritish India\u201d)
\n2) You can use up to two Wikipedia pages to provide extra depth on your
\ncommunity and its imperial system. For example, one might pick \u201cMuslim
\nBrotherhood\u201d and \u201chistory of Egypt Under the British\u201d or maybe \u201cSuez
\nCanal\u201d to describe the community of Muslim nationalists seeking
\nEgyptian independence. A+ papers will exhibit creativity in selection of
\nthese two outside sources.
\n3) Your descriptions of the community and the imperial system should cite
\npoints from multiple sources, mixed together. (Do not rehash a series of
\npoints from one reading or another in forming each paragraph.)
\n4) Research and include images of two historic photographs describing your
\ncommunity from the period 1880-1920. You can try Wikipedia, Google
\nImages, more advanced online research tools such as Library of Congress
\n(loc.gov), the Online Archive of California (oac.cdlib.org), or various
\nnational archives. Or you can simply find an historic photo in a book and
\nscan it. However, you must include a source citation for each image (such
\nas the image above), indicating its creator and origins. Failing to attribute
\nthe image will result in major point deductions. If you find images online
\nwith no source information about the image\u2019s origin, they won\u2019t count.
\n5) When searching for attributable images, pay attention to the source
\nwebsite. Academic (.edu) sites and museum (.org) sites usually follow best
\npractices in attributing images.
\n6) For each image, analyze it in a paragraph! Describe who took the image,
\nany descriptions or captions, and where it appeared, who saw it. Then
\nconsider the subjects in the photograph, persons and\/or landscapes. What
\ncan we learn from the images about your community\u2019s experiences of an
\nimperial system? Relate the image to your discussion of the community.
\nFor example, if you discuss women in imperial Japan, look for
\nphotographs of women in imperial Japan. If you discuss Indian Muslims
\nin British Calcutta, look for images of Muslims in Calcutta. Finally,
\nconsider the medium of the photograph, the photographer and any other
\nfeatures that can tell us something about the production and use of the
\nimage.
\nRecommended structure for your 1100-word paper:
\nParagraph1 \u2013 150 words: Introduction
\nintroduce your community, imperial system and the two photos and
\nbriefly, in a few sentences, summarize this community\u2019s experience of
\nimperialism.
\nParagraph2 \u2013 200 words: The Community
\nDescribe your community. How did it form? Why? Where? Who?
\nParagraph3 \u2013 200 words: The Imperial System
\nDescribe the imperial system in which this community lived. How did they engage
\nwith it?
\nParagraph4 \u2013 photo then 200 words: Photo 1 Analysis
\nWhat does the photo tell us about your community\u2019s experiences?
\nParagraph5 \u2013 photo then 200 words: Photo 2 Analysis
\nWhat does the photo tell us about your community\u2019s experiences? How is it different
\nfrom the first photo? Similar?
\nParagraph6 \u2013 Brief Conclusion \u2013 150 words
