The New Imperialism

So far we've taken a bird's eye view of the New Imperialism, as well as a comparative analysis of imperialism in Africa and Asia. We've examined literary aspects of imperialism with "The White Man's Burden," "The Black Man's Burden," and an advertisement.


We will now turn to politcal cartoons and geography.


Below you will see three political cartoons about imperialism. Analyze and discuss on your own sheet of paper. Read more here about the political cartoon immediately below, and the bottom cartoon depicts British financial magnate Cecil Rhodes, about whom you can find out more here.

The final part of the assignment is to complete this module about imperialism. Answer all questions on your own sheet of paper. Be prepared to discuss in class.
