HIS 126 - Resistance and Rebellion in America

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

From the Boston Tea Partiers to abolitionists, from beatniks and hippies to hip hop artists and "riot girls," Americans have a reputation for being rebels. Sometimes roundly censured, sometimes read as the very spirit of American heroism, how does resistance shape our national experience of identity, of freedom? This course examines instances of American political rebellion - grassroots uprisings, slave revolts, prison riots, wildcat strikes and cultural rebellion - like the youth cultures of the Jazz Age and the Sixties, to the grunge and rap movements of the 1990s. Prerequisites of HIS 3 and 4 or the permission of the instructor are required.
