Section Information for Fall 2012
This course is a general survey of the history of 20th century East Central Europe with a particular focus on the role that nationalism has played in shaping the history of this often volatile region. Along the way we will consider themes such as the role of the interference of the larger European powers in the region, why communism succeeded and then failed there, and how we might understand the Holocaust differently when we view it through the eyes of those in this region--the region where the Holocaust happened. Class sessions will be a mixture of lecture and discussion. The film industry in East Central Europe is among the best in the world and so we will also have a film series. Students who take this course will be very well-prepared to take part in the study tour, Great Cities of East Central Europe, in January 2013 sponsored by the Center for Global Education.Tags:
