Hours: 4
This course will focus on a variety of social movements including the African-American civil rights movement, the gay and lesbian civil rights movement, the labor movement, and various anti-war movements. The emphasis will be on how and why people became engaged in these movements and why others fought so hard against them. The course will also explore the relationship between the state and the social movements under examination. Finally, the course will pay close attention to how race, class, gender, and sexuality shaped these movements and the opposition to them, the causes of success or failure, and the long-term impact of these movements on American society.
