Description:
This is a team-taught seminar in American Studies, co-scheduled with Amy Srebnick\\\'s Senior Seminar in History (HIST 400). Our general topic is the literature and social history of New York City from 1890- 1925. More specifically, we will study three neighborhoods -- the Lower East Side as a site of immigration, Harlem as a site of African-American urban community formation and of the Harlem Renaissance, and Greenwich Village as a site of social, political and artistic radicalism. There will be two instructors at all times in a shared classroom of English and history students. The seminar will culminate in an interdisciplinary research project. This course is recommended for those students interested in interdisciplinary American Studies, and especially for those planning to teach American literature or American history.
