Course Description:
This course introduces the key questions, frameworks, and methodologies of American Studies through the lens of a specific decade in US history. How have dynamics of race, gender, and class formed in relation to one another, and how did they intersect during this decade? How have Black, Indigenous, and immigrant peoples in the United States negotiated and resisted these dynamics via social movements and cultural production? Topics of study may include: slavery, colonialism, immigration, gender and sexuality, capitalism, and war. Students explore these themes through primary and cultural texts such as literature, film, popular culture, and political documents. Together, we study this decade with the understanding that these histories did not begin or end during this period; rather, they continue to structure American society today. |
