HIS (0136) 306 - United States Since 1945

Credits: 3.00

Since 1945 Americans have been buffeted by a series of contrapuntal extremities: 1950s conformity, 1960s liberation; triumph of the New Deal, return of the Gilded Age; religious revivals, secular desires, cold wars/hot wars. This course studies what may and may not be paradoxical about all this.
