*Historical Perspectives on Modern France*
This course is a survey of political, social, and economic developments in France from the end of the Second World War to the present. Our approach will be both historical and thematic, beginning with the rebuilding of democratic institutions after the devastation of the war, and ending with the election of French socialist president François Hollande in 2012. We will focus our inquiry on key moments in contemporary French history: decolonization, the social upheavals of the 60s, the economic miracle of the /Trente glorieuses/, the revival of the far right, and changing French identities in the early 21st century. Emphasis will be on oral expression, the acquisition of specialized vocabulary, and cultural literacy. (FREN 0210 or FREN 0221) 3 hrs. lect./disc.
