【Course Objectives】

The objectives of this course are: (1) to describe the methods and means of critically interpreting the history of the American republic, (2) to compare and contrast history and fiction, and (3) to guide the student through the basics of writing a coherent cultural analysis.

【Course Contents】

Focusing on the first half of Howard Zinn’s famous re-assessment of American history, A People’s History of the United States (1980; updated version, 2015), this course will analyze the ambitious characters and gruesome events that shaped the creation of the USA. Often bloody and seldom ethical, the birth of the American republic is a story of intrigue and treachery. Through an engagement with the true origins of the USA, this course will prepare the students for a nuanced reading of texts related to the American "Old West".
