HIST 651A Readings in American History
Thanks for asking, Mary.
This class is meant to introduce graduate students to classic and to the best recent works of twentieth-century U.S. history. Emphasis will be placed not just on method and historiography but on craft, which is to say on narrative strategies and on writerly excellence. Emphasis will fall as well on U.S. history as embedded in the histories of other regions - Europe, Asia and the Middle East in particular.
