HIST 402 - The American South Since Reconstruction

(3.00)

This course will examine the contours of life in the American South since the end of the Civil War. Given the South’s history of segregation, race is central to understanding Southern identity. We will explore life on both sides of the color line, and will consider ways in which racial identity interacted with class and gender to inform economic development, political and social change, and popular culture in the nineteenth and twentieth century South. Recommended Preparation HIST 101 or HIST 102, plus junior/senior status.
