This course studies the small peoples of Eastern Europe as they struggled to establish and maintain democratic political orders between the wars in the face of foreign threats, agitation by ethnic minorities, and strong movements toward dictatorship; as they were overrun by the Germans and the Russians between 1939 and 1945; and then as they struggled again toward democracy and independence. The course deals primarily with the Poles, the Czechs and Slovaks, the Hungarians, and the Yugoslav peoples including Serbs, Croats, and Muslims. Course materials include novels, contemporary writings and films as well as historical works.
