From the Broadway stage to the Capitol Insurrection, from Netflix to the tearing down of monuments, from gun-laws and militias to tourist kitsch and children’s toys: This class will take the example of the American Revolution to explore the many different ways in which history is part of the national discourse and U.S. culture in the present. We see the past venerated and celebrated, but also deeply politicized.
