| HISTORY (W26) | 12 CHINESE COMM PARTY | BAUM, E. |
| The twentieth century saw the rise and fall of multiple communist regimes around the world, from Cuba and the Soviet Union to Cambodia and Vietnam. One of the regimes that has survived into the present is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This course will explore the origins, establishment, rise to power, and historical endurance of the CCP. By focusing on certain key actors and crucial inflection points at which the CCP's existence came under threat, the course will grapple with the following questions: Why has the CCP remained in power when so many other communist regimes have not? What explains the CCP's endurance in the face of adverse conditions, including civil war, internecine rivalries, and popular discontent? And given what we've learned about the CCP's history, what predictions can we make about its future? | ||

| HISTORY (W26) | 169 MEXICO:PAST&PRESENT | DUNCAN, R. |
| Mexico is an enigma—from tropical rainforests to searing deserts, pinnacles of wealth to depths of despair, it is a land of extremes. On the verge of collapse more than once, Mexico now boasts one of the world’s largest economies. This course introduces students to the story of Mexico’s formation and evolution from colonial times to the present. This will be a broad analysis of the place that history has played in national political structures, economic formations, and social movements. We will examine the indigenous roots of pre-Columbian Mexico, the impact of conquest and colonization, the struggle of nation-building, revolution, reconstruction, and development. Particular attention will focus on the forces—both internal and external—that have contributed to shaping a Mexican identity. These issues will be covered through lectures, videos, and primary/secondary readings. | ||

| HISTORY (W26) | 190 FRENCH REVOLUTION | COLLER, I. |
| The French Revolution of 1789 has echoed through time as a defining event of the modern world. But France was not just a kingdom in Europe. It was a global power, with lucrative colonies in the Americas, the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean, exploited through a massive traffic in humans abducted from Africa. France had connections with Europe, the Atlantic, the Middle East, Asia, and into the Pacific. The French Revolution arrived at a critical moment not just in France, but in the emerging global capitalist system. It challenged the vast inequalities that structured premodern society—slavery, social exclusion, “born-to-rule”, women’s subjugation, religious intolerance, racial prejudice. In doing so, it gave birth to Left and Right, and became almost a byword for polarization and political violence. This class investigates the course of the French Revolution(s), revealing a plural and global phenomenon. | ||
