This course surveys American national politics and government with an eye to addressing these fundamental questions. Beyond examining the characteristics of American political institutions and processes, we shall be interested in considering the functions and quality of American democracy in shaping "who gets what, when, and how." The course will meet in lecture form on Mondays and Wednesdays and in discussion sections on Fridays. Requirements for this course will include two short papers, a midterm exam, and a final exam. This course has mandatory discussions sections (Co-Req 240T sections 1-5) that you must register into when you register into this class. First Year Students Only
Extractions: The history of United States Mexican relations is a history full of events, images, bargains, anecdotes, and problems. Like any other relationship, it has its ups and downs, although there have been more downs than ups. Throughout all these years of permanent contact, Mexico and the United States have constructed a mutual history, a common past that has shaped our comprehension of each other. This common past clearly had different impacts and implications for each country, but one fact is indisputable: this shared past exists. It is a fragment of history that belongs to both nations, has been with us for centuries, and will remain with us for many years to come. There are two moments of this mutual history that I want to explore in this paper: the early 1920s and the early 1990s. Both were periods of a tense and intense bilateral relationship, of an important flow of information between the two countries, of considerable exchanges, negotiations, and disputes. As a facet of the universe of transactions between the two nations, we discover the active participation of some American "public intellectuals," of thinkers who addressed a "general and educated" audience and who "contributed to public discussion." These intellectuals had a deep knowledge of Mexico and strong affiliations with American journals (in the 1920s) and think tanks (1990s). They were intellectually and politically active in both countries. In Mexico, they were in touch with influential politicians and intellectuals and advised governmental elites about the main features of American domestic and foreign policy. In the United States, they spread their opinions on Mexico throughout the labor movement (in the 1920s), the government, and business organizations. Their ideas and policy recommendations impacted both Mexicos governmental elites and the American big business and governmental community. In both periods, they formed (with the Mexican government) an intellectual lobby that sought to affect American public opinion by disseminating Mexican viewpoints.

Extractions: When I first drafted this work I referred to it as "Home is where you build it." There were two meanings I wanted to convey with that phrase: one related to the immigrant women I studied and their coping strategies regarding international migration, and a second dealing with how the study of immigrant women fits into a broader academic discourse. What that meant was placing this study of Dutch Protestant immigrant women in the period 1880 to 1920 in context, into its own "home" if you will. The history of immigrant women was a stepchild of both immigration history and women's history for years. More recently, the exclusion of European immigrant women, with the exception of some urban workers, from the "ethnic" category has had a similar effect in women's history. As this and other studies show, while such women were not as "visible" a minority, and hence they benefited from whiteness, still their experiences often did not match those of "American" white women more generally. In the Midwest, the heartland of Dutch Protestant settlement, different ideas of gender roles coming from Europe clashed in important ways. Jon Gjerde captured one of them in describing the difference of evaluating women's field work, a part of the development of what he called "minds" of the West.

Extractions: The Jazz Age: A Checklist of Books This page is a checklist of useful and interesting books on the Jazz Age. It also represents some of the titles I have collected on the period. As my interests are largely in the culture and social history of the period, this bibliography reflects those concerns. The period, as I define it, began with the end of World War I in 1918 - and ended with the beginning of the Depression 1929. In between was "The Jazz Age" - a time also referred to as the Roaring Twenties. It was a period of tremendous social change in the United States - as well as a time when "youth," (perhaps for the first time), began to play a prominant role in American culture. The Twenties were a turbulent time, one too often stereotyped as the age of wonderful nonsense, Flappers and bathtub gin. It was an age of disillusion and cynicism, prosperity and a revolution in the moral and sexual code. It was also the time that Louise Brooks - dancer, showgirl and film star - enjoyed her brief flirtation with fame. This page is limited to books on the social and cultural history of the United States during the Jazz Age (and to a lesser degree - the interwar period). Individuals interested in additional information might also track down biographies of some of the cultural figures of the time - such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, George Gershwin, or Anita Loos. Annotations for individual titles are offered when relevant or useful. This bibliography has been compiled by Thomas Gladysz.
