America and Europe from Colonization to Coca-colonization: 1492 to the Present - MHIS305
This unit explores the social, political and cultural interactions between Europeans and Americans, beginning with European exploration of the Americas but concentrating mainly on the twentieth century. Building on other 200- and 300-level American and European history units, it examines the points at which the histories of Americans and Europeans overlapped and asks: what did the idea of America mean to Europeans, how did they understand it, and vice versa? How did political, military and economic alliances and power relations shift between Americans and Europeans? Topics include: colonization and decolonization; European travel, immigration, race and changing ideas of 'whiteness'; Americans in interwar Europe; and historiographical debates about 'Americanisation'.
