HIST 96.42 War and Social Change in American Life, 1898 – Today

Since 1898, the United States has consistently engaged in wars overseas, a commitment that some describe as “forever war.” How has this changed life at home? Through topics such as race-making, gender norms, policing, internment, citizenship and civil rights, and anti and prowar activism, this class examines how the production of military violence has transformed American life. Students will produce a 25-page paper based on original research in primary and secondary sources on a topic of their choice.
