AMS/Hum 169 The American Dream
Time: TTh, 12noon-1:15
Location: CCB 101
Description
The "American Dream" is widely used phrase. To think about it leads one to think about nothing less than the history, values, ideas and culture(s) that have evolved--and in some cases died--in the history of the United States. By reflecting on past and present visions of this idea, students gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of the complexity of American experiences and the dreams that circulate in those experiences. Several texts have been chosen to reflect the history and diversity of this idea as it has occurred to people from different ethnic, racial, gender and class backgrounds. The course looks at this pervasive and broad idea from the point of view of multiple ethnic, racial, gender and class perspectives
