FREN 262 - The French Revolution: Civilization and Culture 3 Credit Hours
From the French Revolution to recent times, this survey of French political, social, economic, and cultural history will give students an understanding of human rights, which evolved from the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (1789), as well as the fragility of representative government and the ever-present threat of fascism. French imperialism spread from Algeria to Indochina, and accelerated during the Scramble for Africa. Through a variety of readings and media, students will consider the effects of 19th Century French policies on French, Francophone, and American societies today.
*Taught in French.
Prerequisite(s): FREN 202 or consent of instructor.
