THis 158 - The World in 20th Century

Institution:

SUNY at Albany

Subject:

Description:

This course will look at the ethnic and racial diversity of the contemporary United States and provide a historical context for understanding this diversity. By providing an understanding of the history and culture of the formerly colonized world, and the ideologies of domination used to justify colonization, the course will attempt to sensitize students to the diverse history of Americans. The course will introduce segments on recent American immigration such as Asian and Hispanic immigration. The course will also seek to provide a framework that places the United States within a global context of culture, politics, and economics. The course will also examine how American social movements such as the women's movement, and the Civil Rights movement have affected similar movements elsewhere, and to what extent these struggles in turn have reverberated and shaped contemporary American social movements. A His 158Z is the writing intensive version of A His 158; T His 158 is open to Honors College students only; only one may be taken for credit.
