AMST 100 Imagining America 6 credits
This course examines twentieth-century literature, film, and music in the U.S. to consider how newcomers first imagine this country and how, in turn, “America” sees them. We’ll trace how ideas of Americaness shift over time, reflecting on how understandings of citizenship, freedom, and rights depend on the variable meanings of race, gender, ethnicity, ability, and sexuality. We’ll pair our study of cultural expressions with readings in history, law, and sociology to better understand the complex ways in which “America” is perceived, written into existence, and contested.
