AMST A200 - Comparative American Identities

Examines the formation of legal, social, cultural, and economic identities within the United States and within U.S.-controlled territories. Who counts as “American”? To what ends have citizens and non-citizens assumed, claimed, or refused “American” identity? This course employs a comparative frame in considering elite and subordinated classes (and/or genders, races, ethnicities, sexualities); institutional and counter-cultural forms of self-definition; official history and alternative acts of collective memory.
