1 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY GRADUATE LIBERAL STUDIES PROGRAM FOUNDATION COURSE SYLLABUS American Workers and the Pursuit of Happiness LSHV Spring 2014 Wednesdays, 6:30-9:15 pm January 15 April 23, 2014 Kazuko Uchimura, PhD Course Description and Learning Goals The Americans define their identity and culture on a set of ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence and consolidated in the Constitution. When the Founding Fathers promised life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the eighteenth-century Americans knew what happiness meant. It signified ownership of property, which gave a man (and his family) a stake in society and a voice in the government, and enabled him to rise in the world according to his talents and hard work. Thus the American Dream took shape, and aspirations for freedom and a prosperous life propelled the work ethic of American workers over the past two centuries. However today, with the growth of the global capitalist economy and widening income disparities in the United States, the gap between the Dream and the workers economic realities has become dauntingly wide. In fact, the long-cherished belief that all Americans have of an equal shot at success and happiness appears to be fading. The students will examine, through an eclectic selection of readings including Benjamin Franklin s Poor Richard, Frederick Douglass s Life of Frederick Douglass, Jacob Riis s How the Other Half Lives, and John Steinbeck s Grapes of Wrath, and Charlie Chaplin s silent movie, Modern Times, how the American Dream has become the bedrock foundation of American culture. The students will also explore what has changed and what remains constant in the American workers pursuit of the American Dream from the late twentieth century onwards. Given the broad and protean nature of the course s theme, the readings will range over many disciplines, but the conceptual framework used will be that of labor history; a care has been taken to select readings that reflect personal narratives or voices of workers with their hopes and dreams. 1

The In the interest of keeping the reading load manageable, most of the reading materials for class discussion are a single chapter or short excerpts from books.
