- Class Description:
- This course asks a series of questions about what America is and what it has meant to its citizens, immigrants, and the world over the past 140 years. Students explore struggles that have animated American life for well over a century and remain pressing today. Through analysis of primary sources and scholarship, the course asks: What is America? Who is an American? What is the place of the US in the world? How have race, class, gender, immigration, sexuality (and conflict over all of these) shaped this country? What roles have youth, the government, mass movements, wars, international affairs, energy, and technology played in these conflicts? This course asks how Americans answered and debated these questions over nearly a century and a half of American history. This was a period of tremendous tumult. In the late nineteenth century, the reconstruction of the South and the entire nation, the westward expansion of the United States, intense conflict with Native American nations, and a new push toward overseas imperialism all gave power the question of what ?America? meant. So, too, did the massive migrations of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries?as immigrants came from overseas and Americans migrated to new regions, as cities boomed and rural areas struggled, and as the conflicts and changes that arose gave power to conflicting reform movements. As the US reached a new international position in the First World War and the growth of the American economy in the 1920s, these events were equally flashpoints of race, gender, and class conflict. These conflicts, in turn, shaped the politics of the Great Depression and a New Deal that fed the growth of the federal government, transformed of the meaning of American citizenship, reinforced regional, racial, gender, and class stratifications, and mobilized a new period of labor activism. The following decades?filled as they were with World War Two and the Cold War?empowered a kind of nationalism that made the question of American identity all the more urgent. Debate over the meaning of America was at the heart of the continuing civil rights movement, increasing demands by labor, women, and sexual minorities for full rights as Americans, and the debate over the war in Vietnam. In the eighties and nineties, a resurgent political, social, and cultural conservativism empowered and drew upon American nationalism . In the context of these sea changes, the US was hit by the attacks of 9/11. In response, some favored a more restrictive notion of American identity, while others questioned the place of their nation in the world. As the course draws towards the present moment, it is clear that the question of what America is and ought to be for its people and the world remains a central political, economic, social, and cultural concern.
