Final Essay History 20W

    Please write a concise 2200-2500 word (8-10 page) essay in response to the following question:

     

    What is the relationship between decolonization and the Great Acceleration? Analyze two primary sources (Che Guevara and Declaration of Comilla) and their perspectives on decolonization, technology and economic development in the postwar world. What can these sources tell us about the relationship between decolonization and the Great Acceleration, and why is agriculture so important to this question?

     

    Please analyze these two primary sources in their historical contexts. Examine the primary sources closely and consider the authors, their motives and their intended audience. Note specific details that offer evidence concerning the key terms of the question (decolonization, agriculture, technology and economic development.)

     

    Use secondary sources (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, “Planetary dashboard shows ‘Great Acceleration’ in human activity since 1950;” “Green Revolution.” Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia; Professor Simmons, video lecture on “Revolutions”) to place each primary source in its specific historical context. 

     

    Please use all of the primary and secondary sources listed here to formulate your argument.
