AMS 380 - Roads Not Taken: Some Critics of American Society, 1880-1960

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

Many commentators during the 1950s gave the impression that postwar liberal-democracy was the 'natural' state of the USA. This obscured the work of many interesting, non-mainstream critics of modern industrial America, ranging from insurrectionary socialists to melancholy conservatives, few of them writing from the academy, including novelists, journalists, and activists. The course aims to give students the chance to read these writers and decide for themselves whether they deserved to have more influence than they did, or perhaps even less.
