All course material, except for the final projects, will be pre-1850, and only the Opium war will be post-1800.
For the songs, though, I don't really care. It's fun, and will give students things to listen to (and maybe add to).
Power - probably needs to leave the list, under further review. What I really want to talk about is the exportation of European power as a result of the spice trade, and to some extent the buying and selling of cannon as a means to gain "power." But I need to tighten it up a bit.
I like "It's hard out here for a Pimp." I do want to be hip.
That's actually the goal here. Be hip. Get the students listening to songs that they like (well, some of which they like), and having fun.
