Credit(s): 4
Lecture: 4
Non-Lecture: 0

As a graduate readings course, History 570 will introduce students to the most important and influential scholarship on the United States from the Progressive Era through to the rise of the Conservative Right in the late 20^th century. Since this is a large field, we will narrow our focus to highlight scholarship that addresses the US’s troubled history of democracy, imperialism, immigration, and citizenship, as well as racial and economic inequality. While we will read the books in chronological order based on historical timelines, we will devote significant time to analyzing where each work fits within the broader historiographical shifts that have defined the history profession.
