230602 U.S. History (S) (SoSe 2023)

Contents, comment

This course deals with pivotal moments in the development of the United States of America from the pre-colonial era to the 21st century. Given the enormous amount of material on the subject matter, students will focus on historical snapshots and the ideological debates surrounding them in an attempt to unravel the tapestry of contemporary US power structures, prevailing attitudes as well as current cultural and socio-economic circumstances. During the semester, students will deal with a great variety of historical primary sources and learn to analyze and interpret them. A special focus will be placed on the perspectives of historically excluded and marginalized groups, such as Native Americans, African Americans, migrant communities, women, and homosexuals.
