UMBR PSIT 352 - History & Politics of Modern Italy

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

Italy has perhaps the most interesting modern history and politics of any European nation. After the struggles for nationhood and an unusually prolonged and bitter phase of class conflict in the nineteenth century, Italy experimented with totalitarianism and an unusually maverick democratic system in the twentieth century - a democratic system that had to deal with terrorism, regionalism and organized crime. Students will be expected to examine Italisn history through contemporary films, poems, novels, and state documents and deploy their knowledge of these works to present their own analysis and interpretation of historical events.
