| Description: This course surveys the history of Indigenous worlds, colonial projects, enslavement, and the contested transformation of lives and communities in North America through the U.S. Civil War and wars in the West. How did Indigenous people and people of African descent assert sovereignty, create new bonds, and partake in the creation of new nations in landscapes of violence and subjugation? How did settler political and economic strategies shape the land and life upon it? Topics include cross-cultural encounters, competing religious and social visions, the formation of the United States and its political system, gender, migration, the development of racial capitalism, and the Civil War. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: You do not need to purchase any books for this course. You may wish to purchase, or use, Rampolla, A Pocket Guide to Writing in History, as an optional guide to assist you with your research and writing. It will be available on reserve. For those who wish to purchase the book, the 10th edition, which is the most recent, may be more affordable than some older editions. I have listed the ebook price here ($23.99). The 10th edition in paperback is $38.99, and the 9th edition is even more expensive. Feel free to use an earlier edition. Again, completely optional. |
