Alan Sennett
[10 weeks]
This course adopts an international history approach to the “devil’s decade” of the 1930s. Part 1 [Autumn term 2021] considers the aftermath of war through to depression in the early 1930s. Topics will include a look at the hopes for achieving world peace through the League of Nations, the onset of global economic crisis, the Soviet experiment, and its impact, the coming of Fascism in Europe and Asia, anti-colonial nationalist movements, cultural modernism, democratic institutions, and challenges to them. We will consider ways of exploring the events and processes adopted by many modern historians who contest the familiar Western-centric narrative. By taking the themes of gender, class, and race as categories of analysis, we will consider the role of women’s struggles, the emergence of political and cultural internationalism and the interconnectedness of historical developments in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
