In this introductory survey we will examine how the religious, political, and scientific traditions of western civilization originated in Mesopotamia and Egypt from c. 3500 B.C.E. and were developed by Greeks and Romans until the Islamic invasions of the seventh century C.E. The course will help students to understand the emergence of polytheism and the great monotheistic religions, the development of democracy and Republicanism, and the birth of western science and the scientific method.

Extractions: tabraham@uidaho.edu Many Chinese laborers in the American West used domestic service as an entry point to entrepreneurial opportunities. Following a brief description of the role of Chinese servants in the American West, we will examine case studies of individuals who used domestic service as an effective stepping stone to more entrepreneurial, higher-status activities. Since not all servants became entrepreneurs, we will look at characteristics of entrepreneurship for insight into the life decisions made by Chinese servants and laborers. "Stepping Stones to Empowerment: Chinese Servants in the American West" continues the author's earlier research on Chinese servants in the American West. Travel support to make this presentation was provided by the University of Idaho's John Calhoun Smith Memorial Fund. After the discovery of gold in the West, labor was always scarce because every laborer mistakenly believed that work in the gold fields was more remunerative than any other kind of employment. At the very least, the gold rushes drained off large numbers of workers who otherwise would have been filling jobs and building communities. There was also a resulting imbalance between the number of males and females, with females in decidedly shorter supply. The larger society greatly felt the lack of lower-class women who could serve as domestics. At one point, San Francisco bachelors even shipped their dirty laundry to Hawaii to be washed.

Internet East Asian History Sourcebook 12781313) The Monk of Kublai Khan, Emperor of China; or The History of the Life and Travels This behavior incited a chinese boycott of american trade. http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/eastasia/eastasiasbook.html
Extractions: Sourcebook There is no way of avoiding the fact that China is the central culture of Eastern Asia. Massively larger than any of her neighbors, China may have developed its cultural forms in relative isolation, but since the advent of Buddhism has both absorbed outside influences and disseminated its own culture. Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures are not comprehensible without taking into account power of Chinese culture in art, literature and religion. Chinese culture itself is highly complex, and the other East Asian cultures also reflect local circumstances and traditions. For instance the (later) Chinese ideal of a scholar-gentleman contrasts strongly with Japanese warrior ideals. It is not going to far to suggest that the very different responses of the various East Asian to the Western intrusion of the past two centuries reflect the variety of previous historical developments.

Indian American Center For Political Awareness A brief glimpse of the history of Indian immigrants in the US reveals a distinct experience stating that Indians are of no value to the american west. http://www.iacfpa.org/census2k/iahist.htm
Extractions: Although a vast majority of the 1.2 million Indian Americans in the United States arrived after 1965, the history of Indians in this country goes back much further. A brief glimpse of the history of Indian immigrants in the U.S. reveals a distinct experience from many other immigrant groups. Early Immigration Very few Indians came to the U.S. prior to 1906 since the prevailing Hindu socio-religious traditions deemed crossing of the "black water" to the West as extremely inauspicious. As a result, many of the early arrivals from India were young Christian men who were brought as indentured servants or slaves via England. As trade developed with India, some Indians also arrived in the US as sailors on merchant ships. Such was the case of the first recorded arrival of an unnamed "man from Madras" in the streets of Salem, Massachusetts in 1790. Between 1820 and 1898, only 523 Indians immigrated to North America, mostly unskilled laborers and agricultural workers. They were reported to have married and disappeared into the black slave population of Salem.

Extractions: Syllabus updates and announcements at: http://www.middlebury.edu/~kmorse Course Description and Goals This course covers the history of that part of North America that became the U.S. West, from European Contact through the late 20th century. It focuses on several key themes: the U.S. Federal government and its role in the conquest, economic development, and administration of the West; the legacy of that conquest for native and immigrant peoples; the formation of communities in the West, however defined; contests within and amongst those communities for access to natural resources, wealth, and the right to call themselves Americans and westerners; and the role of the mythic West in American popular culture. The goals of the course are: to illustrate these themes through lectures, discussions, the reading of original documents, histories, essays, maps, and films; to put western myth and western history into conversation with each other; and to develop students' critical and historical reading, thinking, writing, and discussion skills.
