Interdisciplinary study of diverse and changing American cultures. Topics may include materialism, art, and spiritual life; freedom and oppression; individualism and community; ethnicity, race, class and gender; social movements and social change; environmental ethics.
Class description
This course is not intended to be a survey of American history, but instead will look at selected topics, such as colonialism and national identity, and themes, such as class, race, and gender, over four centuries. In addition to the textbook, we will rely on primary sources, including maps, art, documents, and autobiographies to understand the making of America.
