Class Details

Since the U.S. invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, questions of imperialism have returned to the forefront of analyses of life and politics in the United States. This course will examine a long view of U.S. imperialism, from continental imperialism over Native peoples’ lands, through overseas imperialism following the Spanish-American War, through the Cold War, and reaching into the War on Terror. We will engage long-standing models in the analysis of empire, and focus on cultural, economic, and political dimensions to examine the centrality of imperialism to the United States, and the history of the United States within a context of global histories.
