More echoes of appeasement

To conclude our round-up, here are a Boston Globe opinion piece from last May about Bush's attempt to smear Obama as an "appeaser", and a very brief overview from the Churchill Archives Centre at Cambridge University.

Course description

Etude des développements et des structures politiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels et introduction à la vie contemporaine des communautés anglophones de l'Europe.

The course will concentrate on the English-speaking peoples of Europe, that is to say the English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh. Their relationship with other European countries, with English-speaking peoples in other continents, and with the wider world, will be considered where necessary, but not in a systematic fashion.

"Réalités contemporaines" should be taken somewhat in the sense of "l'histoire contemporaine" (often taken to begin in or around 1789). The realities studied will not be strictly contemporary: the course concentrates on the period from 1945 to 1997. There is a further course in the M.A. programme that looks at Britain since 1997, with a more strictly "contemporary" focus.
