HISTORY 585

READINGS IN TWENTIETH & TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY U.S. HISTORY

INSTRUCTOR: Professor Robin D. G. Kelley

Office: SOS B-15

CONTACT: rdkelley@usc.edu

Office Hours: Mondays 1:30 – 3:00, Wed., 12:30 – 1:30, or by appt.

TIME: Tuesdays 2:00-4:50am

PLACE: THH 219

In this course we will survey some of the best and most recent works in the field of twentieth and twenty-first century U.S. history, paying particular attention to various approaches, topics, or genres in the field. We will explore the contributions made by scholars writing at the "cutting edge" of American history in order to analyze the methods they have employed and the theoretical underpinnings of their work. It is impossible to be exhaustive in one semester, so I’ve selected readings that, for the most part, reflect new trends in transnational history, empire, race, sexuality, and the politics of culture. The course should serve to point students in the direction of further reading and study.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, each student will be able to:

• Understand a wide range of the most recent literature in twentieth and twenty-first century U.S. history and place new works in the wider frameworks of the field

• Begin the process of preparing for a field examination in U.S. history having read a substantial amount of new literature and acquired lists and reviews of other works to be read later

• Place recent work in twentieth and twenty-first century U.S. history in dialogue with works in other relevant fields, such as American Studies, and in topical sub-fields of U.S. history

• Extensively explore and understand one particular aspect of twentieth and twenty-first century U.S. history through the historiographical essay

• Discuss possible future directions in the field of twentieth and twenty-first century U.S. history and place their own possible research topic in the wider context of the field

Seminar requirements: (1) You are expected to attend all class sessions and be prepared to participate in the discussions. Each student will also be required to lead one week's discussion. Attendance, participation, and leading discussion will make up 30% of your grade; (2) Maintain a journal on the week’s reading – notes that you will find useful and reflect your critical engagement with the assigned book. The journal will account for 30% of your grade; (3) A historiography paper on a topic you and I have chosen together. The paper should be about 15 to 20 pages in length; 40% of your final grade.

For guidelines on these requirements, see “Leading Discussion in HIST 585” and “Writing a Historiographical Essay,” below.

The required books for this course are available for purchase at the USC Bookstore. All required articles are available electronically on-line and will be posted to Blackboard.
