Popular Culture, Political Economy, and American Identity: The United States from 1900 to 1945

This course examines the intersection of popular culture and political economy to explore how American identity changed between 1900 and 1945. Through readings and documentary material on technology, migration, and urbanization, in-class discussion, and lectures, it explores the U.S. between 1900-1945 as both a nation and a complex process, rather than a fixed set of ideas, people, and spaces.
