From a socially inclusive, trans-cultural and trans-national perspective students will critically evaluate the historical implication of U.S. cultural hegemony and imperial preeminence over other world nations and people. The course will address problems as follows: With reference to our national past, to what extent is our current, hegemony continuous or discontinuous with the nationalism of earlier generations? Since contemporary American ideology claims a special role for the American System in the building of a universal order of liberal-capitalist democracy to what extent is this claim compatible with or inimical to the real prospects for world democracy in the 21 st century? Cultural Wars, Global Warming, Terrorist Rivalries and Extreme Materialism are the signature issues of late modernity. Schedule Description: Come investigate and analyze U.S. history from World War II to the present as we consider such factors as nationalism, materialism, capitalism and democracy and identify their impact on modern U.S. history.
