Course Description: THIRD WORLD IDEOLOGIES: AAAS 123 This course analyses ideological concepts developed by seminal Third World political thinkers and their application to modern political analysis. This course will examine the writings of Karl Marx, V. I. Lenin, Mao Ze Dong, Frantz Fanon, Fidel Castro, Kwame Nkrumah, Ahmed Sukarno, Julius Nyerere, Salvador Allende, Michael Manley and efforts of contemporary scholars to utilize their insights. Introduction This course acknowledges the vitality of political ideologies and the need to know and understand them better. Without ideology we are almost without a conscience, without law and order, without an anchor and a port. More significantly, without ideology we have a distorted vision of ideas and belief systems of the peoples of the global community. Ideologies fashion our motivations, our attitudes, and the political regimes under which we live. They shape our values. All of us, whether we know it or not, have an ideology even those who claim openly that they do not. We all believe in certain things, value something – property, friends, the law, freedom and authority. All of us look at the work in a one way or another – we have ideas about it – and we try to make sense out of what is going on it. No matter how independent we claim to be, we are all influenced by ideas. We are sensitive in varying degrees and ways, to appeals made – to our honor, patriotism, family, race, class or religion – and we can all be manipulated and aroused. We are creators and creatures of ideas – of ideologies – and through them, we manipulate others or are ourselves manipulated. Ideologies are very much a part of our lives; they are not dead and they are not on the decline anywhere. In this course, we shall critically examine ideological concepts developed by seminal Third World political and social thinkers and their application to modern political analysis. We shall be most interested on how these ideologies have impacted on the relations among Third World countries themselves as well as those between the industrialized countries of Western Europe and North America and the developing countries of Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
