Topic: The Western Influences on Asian and African Leaders
Order Description
To prepare for this Discussion:
•
• Review Chapter 22 (pp. 344–368) and Chapter 23 (pp. 370–3 83) in the course text.
• Review the articles in this week’s Learning Resources regarding Asian and African thoughts about Western influences and impacts.
• Reflect upon Western political thought and institutions as they appear in the Japanese Constitution of 1946, Mao’s reflections of China’s revolutionary history in 1949, Syngman Rhee’s memoir (in the course text, The Twentieth Century and Beyond: A Global History, p. 362) and Kwame Nkrumah’s analysis of African nationalist movements.
• Think about how African and Asian colonies fought to rebuild a more democratic nation after World War II, and how they struggled to steer clear of building the same institutions their repressors once formed.
• Consider the European and Western leaders’ journey and reflect on how they affected the Asian and African leaders. What do you think Asian and African leaders adopted from the ideas of the European and Western leaders? What do you think they discarded in their move towards independence?
• Draw from the Learning Resources this week. Recall the pressures that the African and Asian nations experienced when adopting and crafting their own policies.
• Reflect upon the African and Asian desire for freedom and what it meant to them as a society as they began to rebuild after World War II.
