HIST 121 - U.S. History Survey from 1877 to the Present

In this course, we will survey, examine and contextualize the history of the United States from the end of Radical Reconstruction to the present. In addition to covering a general chronology of US history during this period, we will focus on how racism, sexism, and classism affected white male America socially, politically, and economically. Though not the direct targets of racism or sexism in the United States, white male Americans, particularly poor and undereducated white male Americans, are also affected by racist, sexist and classist policies, laws, and ideologies. We will discuss the “blowback” of such discriminations on all Americans.
