HIST 3840 - Ethnic Cleansing in Modern European History


Studies ethnic cleansing as a central issue in European history - including Europe’s colonies. Ethnic cleansing (for much of the 20th century termed “population transfer” or “expulsion”) was a policy initiated by numerous great and minor powers from the beginning to the end of the 20th century and provides important perspective on the development of human rights law and state and nation building (and empire breaking) throughout this time. Also considers how the legacy of ethnic cleansing lives on in international relations, politics, the arts, and the popular attitudes and culture of the victims and perpetrators of ethnic cleansing, and their relations toward one another and in the broader international community.
