HIS 320 - Violence in America; A Historical P

Institution:

Lackawanna College

Subject:

History

Description:

In this course, the concept of violence excluding the violence of war will be examined within a historical framework. The social foundations that help give rise to various acts of violence will be considered within the realm of historical scholarship, as will the cultural and political implications of these acts. Emphasis, however, will be placed on instances of violence throughout history, considering legal, illegal, and extra-legal forms of violence over time. Students will examine these occurrences; interpret the events, as well as the historic pathways that led to them; and assess the position of these incidents in the historical narrative of the United States, as well as the level of threat they pose/posed to overall social stability, both in the past and the present.
