HST 334 - Contemporary America

Institution:

Anna Maria College

Subject:

Description:

Examines how the "Reagan revolution" in 1980which promised to restore prosperity and patriotism led to the decline of liberalism and the end of the American century. Political movements to extend the benefits and privileges of society to all social classes and to end discrimination against minorities, women and others, were compromised. This course will study the challenges of rapidly advancing technology, an increasingly unstable economy, political spin-control, the end of the Cold War and deeper ethnic divisions among increasing numbers of minorities, that force Americans to reconsider their priorities.
