COURSE DESCRIPTION
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces American history from 1920 to the present. It highlights the development of modern America, movements for racial, ethnic, gender, and class equality, the debate over the federal government's role in the economy and society, and the emergence of the United States as a global power.
Throughout the semester, we will work with primary sources, such as the raw materials historians use to construct their narratives of the past. In addition to gaining a broad understanding of modern American history, students will develop their abilities to think and write critically, question sources, and analyze texts, films, and other primary sources.
