TOPIC: Modern Poland: Partitioned, Displaced, Reinvented This course introduces upper-level undergraduates to problems in modern Polish history from the last years of the Commonwealth through the nineteenth-century era of partition, twentieth-century displacement across borders, and Polands post-1945 reinvention as a homogenous Polish-Catholic nation-state. Central questions include ethnic identity, shifting borders, changing ideas about nationalism, racial interchange/conflict, and Polands historic Jewish, German, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian populations. Recent debates about postwar Polands physical shift to the west, its transformation into an industrial power, the Polish martyrology narrative, questions of anti-Semitism, and resistance to as well as collaboration with Communism will be followed by contemporary questions, such as Poland?s integration into the new Europe, its growing east-west gap in affluence, the death of Lech Kaczynski, and preparations for the European soccer championships in 2012, which are to take place in Poland and Ukraine. Meets with POL 199 and REES 296.
