HIST-275 Remembering Revolution (3)

This course grapples with the questions of what thinking critically about revolutions can tell us about the unfolding of history, and how social, political, and cultural contexts shape the way we understand and use the past. The course examines four U.S.-based case studies: the American Revolution, slave rebellions, labor uprisings, and the social, political, and cultural movements of the 1960s. To study how history is documented, represented, and consumed, students analyze speeches, memoirs, photographs, films, and the built environment, among other sources.
