Osnova
  • This course is a study of Canadian history and politics since the end of World War II. Its main purpose is to clarify the many statements, often incongruous, made by Canadians and foreigners alike about the importance and viability of Canada. How does one square President Clinton's statement that "Canada stands as a model of how people of different cultures can live and work together in peace, prosperity and mutual respect" with the opinion of "The Economist" that "Sooner or later Canadians are going to become Americans. Too bad," and that "Nations like stars burn out...Maybe Canada is not meant to survive"? Even more extreme is making sense of a former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations during the late 1980s stating that Canada is a "systematically _racist_ society" at the same time when the UN itself labeled Canada as being the world's most _agreeable_ nation! The point is that Canada has changed greatly since 1945 and that its history since then has been shaped by political personalities in combination with the traditional cultural, economic, international, linguistic and regional forces which have been a part of Canadian history since the nineteenth century. Therefore, students will be given an overview of the most important aspects of the period studied and will be able to see documentary films which highlight the era.
