| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2413 This course surveys the intersecting ethnic and transnational histories of the United States in the 20th and 21st century. It encourages students to conceptualize U.S. history as a set of transnational encounters and systems that transcend national borders, where divergent ways of coming into America and Americanness structure U.S. national and postcolonial polities and exclusions over long arcs. Capitalism, the environment, decolonization and Third Worldism, the Black Atlantic, modernity, imperialism, diaspora and migration, world war, travel, the United Nations and "Our America" serve as organizing motifs. Students will gain a facility with the languages of hemispheric and global imagining that structure the pursuit of contemporary U.S. history, while sharpening analytical skills working with primary texts.; Enrollment Limit: 25 Social Science, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts), B: Analysis of the Social World (; Hav: SO, A, B) |
