HIS 236 - The Greeks: History of a People

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

How and why does a people survive? That is the question at the heart of this course, which is organized around the history of a people, rather than a state or country. The Greeks possess one of the most continuous records on earth, yet their history after Antiquity remains surprisingly little known. We will explore that history, beginning in Late Antiquity and moving across the globe, from the Mediterranean to Russia, Turkey, and early 20th century America, we will take the story up to the present. Prominent themes include: pre-modern and modern identity, community and state, and the place of a mercantile people in global economic history.
