Anthropology 231 - Nation,Culture,and Migration in Contemporary Europe

Institution:

Dickinson College

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces students to the rapidly changing world of contemporary Europe, focusing on particular countries with membership in the European Union. In recent years, the internal borders between members of the European Union have begun to fade away, while new forms of localism, and ethnonationalism have appeared, sometimes with violent results. There is an effort to link the member states into a unified economic and political whole, but there is also an intensified presence of immigrant populations from all over the globe, and a growing sense of "multi-culturalism." This course examines some of the identity issues that have emerged around the unification of European countries, including nationalist and ethnic conflicts, the "new racism," new social movements such as youth, anti-racist, feminist and environmental movements, and growing social and cultural heterogeneity. Offered every other year.
