That looks like it. I don't know if that was the course code back when I went but that was it to a T. Read some things I'd never think to find, or wouldn't find in any other course kit. Got acquainted with some dark writings from one Frantz Fanon. Got an overview of the history of Chinese communism as part of a seminar I had to run, as well as the Cominterns, and I dearly regret selling that particular textbook to a student in the next crop even though it meant helping her get it at a discount.

So few instructors at that institution really fished, really dropped the hammer on slacking and made me stay on my toes (figuratively, intellectually) and actually made me interested in things that might have put me to sleep coming from anyone else. It's something I miss, almost like a book club of heady stuff that left me caring and interested and with a group of people for different views.

Eh, I'll just cut myself off there. :)
