GER 3280 - Fear of the Other: Xenophobia and the Holocaust


This course first analyzes the ways Nazis used fear in excluding, persecuting, and murdering people which it identified as ’Others.’ Students then apply this knowledge to examine situations in which fear has been instrumentalized for political and/or personal purposes. Drawing upon international events, this course explores fear and xenophobia using psychological, political, sociological, literary, artistic, philosophical, and historical sources, thus applying a transcultural approach to general patterns in human interactions. This course satisfies WMU Essential Studies Level 3: Connections – Global Perspectives Category.
