This course will examine the making and remaking of national
identities in 20th-century Western Europe. It will first

to investigate the processes of inclusion and exclusion that
produce national identities; women's suffrage;
anti-Semitism; the fascist state and its legacy; social
citizenship in the welfare state; immigration and
citizenship; the nationalism of the new right; and the
construction of public memory and national myths in film and
fiction.
