HISP 340 - Nationalism, Culture, and Politics Under and After Dictatorship: Spain and Yugoslavia in the 20th Century

FC ARHU CD

4 credits
The 20th-century histories of Spain and Yugoslavia run surprisingly parallel but have resulted in widely different outcomes. Why? This course analyzes the interaction among nationalism, culture, and politics in both countries through sociological, historical, literary, and visual materials. Special attention is paid to late state-building, the rise of competing nationalisms, civil wars, and their legacies, dictatorship, collective memories, democratic transition (Spain), and state collapse (Yugoslavia). Taught in English.

This course is cross-listed with SOCI-340
