HIST 1323 - AMERICA'S GREAT MIGRATION


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This seminar explores the mass migration of southern African Americans from 1915 to 1975 and examines the resulting transformation of urban black communities in the North and West. We will investigate and compare systems of social control across the twentieth-century United States and consider the myriad and sometimes contrasting ways that African Americans and their allies resisted these systems. Through readings, seminar-style discussions, literature reviews, and a research paper, this course will train you to analyze and evaluate scholarly literature and prepare you for serious research in the humanities and social sciences. This course is especially appropriate for students with aspirations to attend graduate school.
