AMST 405 - The Immigrant Experience 3 Credit(s) | Lecture | Course can be counted for credit once
Description: Through letters, essays, autobiography, fiction, film, oral and written history, the course explores the historical and cultural issues raised by native-born Americans (Anglos) and immigrants (Aliens) who were involved during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in defining the sometimes agonizing process of becoming an American. Representative documents reveal a variety of conflicting views about the process and meaning of Americanization: from the defensive essays of Anglo-Saxon supremacists, through Jane Addams’ sensitive witness of immigrant life, the letters, diaries and accounts of immigrants, and two works of immigrant fiction.
Course Attribute(s): Diversity Area: United States
Enrollment Requirements: Prerequisites: A minimum of 60 credits and two AMST courses or permission of instructor.
