WiSe 17/18: Global America and Its Transnational Connections, 1870s-1920s
Sönke Kunkel
Kommentar
This course explores America’s intersections with the world from the late nineteenth century to the 1920s. It explains why and how the United States globalized between the 1870s and the 1920s and asks, in turn, how American institutions, social actors, and governments themselves fostered new global and transnational connections in those decades. Partly organized chronologically, partly structural or regional, the course covers themes such as the history of economic globalization, immigration, urbanization, progressivism, and the global circulation of ideas. In addition, it familiarizes students with the history of American imperialism and foreign relations up to America’s entry into World War I. Finally, a major goal of this course is to help strengthen your ability to read and think critically about the writing of American history. The course therefore also provides an introduction to current scholarship and involves a substantial reading list.
