HIS 295-02 - Special Topic: Cold War Radical Politics4 credits (Fall)
This course explores the development of Cold War-era radical politics, focusing on the Americas and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s. The primary object of our investigations will be the New Left, a complex and multi-sited international movement with profound legacies for contemporary political practice. Using sources from around the world, we will examine the diverse intellectual underpinnings and contexts of New Left politics. In the process, we will address how political identities were constructed through categories of race, gender, class, sexuality, and nationality; organizational aspects of grassroots politics; and the impact of protest on the norms and institutions of Cold War societies.
Prerequisite: HIS 100 or second-year standing.
Instructor: Sanders
