HIST 277 - The Seventies

Institution:

SUNY College at Oneonta

Subject:

Description:

3 s.h. The popular image of the 1970's is that it was the "Me Decade," time of self-absorption when Americans abandoned their struggle for broad social change and turned inward becoming increasingly preoccupied with their own lives. This course challenges this popular view of the decade by examining the new social activism of women, gays, environmentalists, Latinos, American Indians, and a host of conservative political and social groups. Other areas of study include the Burger Court, popular culture, changes in technology, stagflation, the rise of the Sunbelt States, and the decline of American power throughout the world. ( LA)
