Poland-Related Courses
- HIST 235 East European Jewry: 1772-1939
@
- COURSE DESCRIPTION:
First Semester. This course focuses on the Jews in Russia-Poland from the partitions of Poland until the eve of World War II, examining the religion, community organization, literature, economic profile, and politics of a diverse and enormously expressive community that sadly, has received most attention for its mass slaughter by the Nazis. This course, while studying the endemic anti-Semitism of the region, and Jewish responses to it, focuses primarily on the life and culture of the Jews themselves. Identical to JWST 235.

- Politics 214
Social and Political Change in Eastern Europe
@
- COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course focuses on Eastern Europe as the first "relatively backward" region in the world
capitalist system. In part one we will explore how Eastern Europe became the "other Europe." In
Part Two we will explore the rise of Communism as a developmental alternative to
Western capitalism, beginning with an examination of the social base of communist movements
and the sources of its attraction for intellectual elites. We will then move on to the reasons of
discontent with the Stalinist model which led to the Polish and Hungarian revolts of 1956 and
the Prague Spring of 1968. In Part Three, we explore the dilemmas posed by the demise of communism as an
alternative to Western capitalism and liberal democracy.
