HIS 343 - JYS Duty to Resist


Civic and faith-based duty to resist injustice and tyranny is regaining importance around the world as liberal democracy faces new perils. In this course, students will learn about resistance to tyranny in Europe in the twentieth century as a basis for comparison with civic and faith-based responsibilities today. By analyzing resistance to fascism, communism, and imperialism, students will understand better the motivations to resist, the obstacles in the way of resistance, and the measure of success and failure of resistance.  Students will study resistance to the Nazis, Gandhi’s resistance to the British, and Mandela’s resistance to Apartheid.
