- Osnova
- This course aims to equip students to understand and analyze American culture, politics and race relations in light of the underlying “deep structures” of regionalism and group identity that have shaped them over time. Lectures, discussions, readings, and film/video screenings will address the original settlements that gave rise to America’s various regional and sub-cultures, the impact of successive waves of immigration and internal migration, the changing definitions of race and ethnicity, and the complex interplay among groups that informs today’s political and artistic developments. 26 September: Introduction; America’s “Cold Civil War” 3 October: Imagining a “New” World Readings: excerpts from Anderson, Imagined Communities, and others as posted 10 October: Religious conflicts and the motives for migrating Readings: excerpts from Cullen, The American Dream, and others as posted 17 October: Cultural “hearths” and the origins of America’s “nations” Readings: Woodard, “The Real U.S. Map” (parts 1-5), and other excerpts posted 24 October: America’s changing “regimes” and party systems Readings: excerpts from Keller, America’s Three Regimes, and others as posted 31 October: Reading week; no class meeting 7 November: American races and race concepts Readings: excerpts from Perry, “Race” and Racism, and others as posted 14 November: Anglo-America, Euro-America, and Multicultural America Readings: excerpts from Lind, The Next American Nation, and others as posted 21 November: American countercultures and alternative identities Readings: excerpts from Goffman and Joy, Counterculture Through the Ages, and others as posted 28 November: Artistic expressions of American cultures Readings: excerpts from Lawson, Jim Crow’s Counterculture, and others as posted 5 December: Changing demographics, “Southern exceptionalism” and U.S. politics today Readings: excerpts from Lind, Made in Texas, and others as posted 12 December: Review and conclusion
