The reign of the Tudor and Stuart monarchs saw sustained and deep-reaching changes in the four nations of the British Isles (Eng- land, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales). Over just two centuries, this region witnessed divisive processes of religious transformation associated with the Protestant Reformation; the absorption of the peoples of the "Celtic fringe" into a centralized and bureaucratized nation state based in London; two separate political revolutions and series of bitterly fought rebellions in Scotland and Ireland; the transformation of the British Isles from a relatively weak and marginal region into a global economic and military power; and particularly vibrant British contributions to literature and the arts, philosophy, and the sciences. Using primary and secondary source readings, this course will explore these transformations and will assess the impact of these changes on the societies and cultures of the four nations.

This course will focus on the post-World War II African-American experience, with particular attention to national, state, and local policies and to northern and western urban centers. We will examine the basis for structural inequality side-by-side with Black activism and alternate visions for Black communities and the country. Traditional narratives of the post-World War II era have emphasized the southern Civil Rights Movement ending in Black Power, white backlash, and urban de-industrialization and decline. In the past decade, historians have collectively challenged that framework and emphasis, illustrating, for example, that governmental policies which privileged whites and reinforced segretation pre-dated the southern movement and did not simply emerge in response to the angry and violent rhetoric of Black Power. Moreover, through Norhtern-based local studies historians have effectively illustrated that the dichotomies of South versus North and Civil Rights versus Black Power are far too simplistic, obscuring both long-term Black activism outside the South and the common roots and bases for Civil Rights and Black Power. We will explore these and other issues related to the post- World War II Black Freedom Struggle in the North and West and the interrelated themes of structural inequality and white privilege through our reading. Prerequisites: HIST 220 and HIST 221 or instructor's permission. Credits: 3(3-0).
