HIST 222 - Central Europe, 1848-1989

3 SS, WR
First Semester. How should a community constitute itself politically? What does it mean to be a citizen? What is the relationship between the state and the nation? These questions were at issue throughout modern Central European history. We will examine the various answers offered to this question over this period: from nationalists to social democrats to Nazis and Communists. To contextualize these issues further, we will integrate theories of nationality, ethnicity, and identity into our empirical readings.
