[Libri] Monday: lecture on politics, history, and the press

[Prof. James Wald (der Geist, der stets verneint)]

INTOLERANCE, THE MILITARY, THE PRESS, AND THE RIGHTS OF MAN:
CAN HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF?

30 October 7:00 p.m.
HAMPSHIRE COLLEGE

ADELE SIMMONS HALL,

HAMMEN AUDITORIUM

The Dreyfus Affair: 100 years ago, one of the greatest injustices in  
modern history was finally corrected. The false conviction of French  
Captain Alfred Dreyfus of spying for Germany in 1894 was the result  
of a virulent anti-Semitic climate, a partisan press, an excessive  
respect for the military, and a reliance on secret military  
tribunals. The tireless efforts of friends, family, and supporters  
convinced of his innocence led to a second trial that resulted in  
another conviction.  He was rehabilitated only in 1906.

Prof. Jean-Max Guieu (Georgetown University School of Foreign  
Service, Department of French), a leading expert on the Dreyfus  
Affair, will discuss the extent to which the conditions that made the  
Affair possible are present in contemporary society.
