| Description: This course introduces the history of the United States and Native North America from the latter half of the 19th century to the present. Themes include the consolidation of the U.S. nation and the reservation system; struggles over land, citizenship, and sovereignty; the transformation of the federal government and of capitalism; immigration; the evolution of racial, gendered, and class hierarchies; and changing forms of domestic life, work, politics, social protest, and cultural expression from Reconstruction to the present. How have concentrations of wealth alongside democratic ideals and struggles for liberation shaped the possibilities of national existence and self-determination? |
