- Cíle předmětu
- What are "civil rights" and why are they important, not only in terms of American history, but in a larger "global" context as well? Are the issues related to the struggle by minorities in the United States to gain these "rights" (whatever they may be) relevant in European or Czech contexts and if so, how? This course uses an examination of the issues surrounding the struggle for civil rights in the United States during the course of this century - primarily, but not exclusively, by the African-American community - as a springboard for a wide-ranging examination of civil and human rights in a more global context. Social, political and legal perspectives will be examined, as will the ramifications of this movement for American society as a whole. Reading for this course will be based on a variety of historical material, including contemporary documents and articles, texts of speeches, analysis of the relevant Supreme Court decisions and a number of essays on this issue. In addition, the video series America's Civil Rights Years, will be viewed and discussed, as well as some additional video material. We will also be looking at contemporary media coverage of such events, including both the American and Czech media.
