HIST 204 History & Memory in American Culture
Klimenko-Riedl
Taught as schedule allows (consult the Course Directory)
SEM
In this seminar, we will explore how Americans have remembered their past from the seventeenth century to the present. We will try to understand what Americans have remembered about their past, the ways in which they have remembered it, why they have remembered it in the way that they have, and how all these aspects of memory have changed throughout American history. We will also try to gain a sense of the role or roles that memory has played in particular American historical circumstances and in American culture as a whole.
