bullet Course Description - This course uses a comparative approach to study the histories of ideological and religious movements occurring during and after World War II.  Major themes applied will include economic and social contexts, ideological and religious principles and how they legitimize the actions taken, and their relationship to cultural identities.  Potential examples for investigation include the Nazi persecution and extermination of European Jews and related Christian resistance, the American civil rights movement, and liberation movements in Africa and the Middle East.
