In this interdisciplinary course, students will study the history of U.S. foreign policy and the history of U.S. migration as a single body of national experience. The course starts from the fact that the U.S. has and has had an empire. It explores how U.S. imperialism, and its bedfellow—expansionist racial nationalism—were historically produced; how they operated and were experienced at home and abroad, culturally, economically and politically; and how they shaped what we have come to think of as “American culture,” subjectivity, citizenship and settlement.
