APUSH (2016-17) APUSH: Summer Reading Assignment Mr Name APUSH (2016-17) APUSH: Summer Reading Assignment Mr. Hess ± [email protected] Reading is fundamental for passing this course. Read everything including charts, maps, picture captions, etc. Following directions is just as important. As there are many aspects to this summer assignment, please read these directions carefully and contact me with questions. You can never ask too many questions! Please feel free to contact me via email over the summer. I will always try to respond within 24 hours. Part 1 ± Chapter Outlines & Identifications Read chapters 1-3 of the American Pageant, 16th edition. Outline the chapters while you read. Highlight each of the attached identifications in your outline. Focusing on IDs is vital for doing well in this course. Learning what to include in an outline and what to leave out is also a vital skill. The list of the IDs can be found at the end of this packet. When outlining, you should consider the following: 1. Read for true understanding. Do NOT just copy lines from the textbook. Do NOT copy the entire chapter in outline form. Put the textbook into your own words to show true understanding of and engagement with the text. An example of writing in your own voice might be making fun of someone you find to be ridiculous or giving a heroic nickname to someone you find to be heroic. Make sure your voice is clear in your outline 2. Read and outline for true significance. Consider and explain the significance of each ID. Consider: why did the authors include this information? As you outline, consider whether each ID is important or extremely important. Place special emphasis on those IDs you see as being more significant to the narrative of U.S. History. If you are unable to find an ID in your textbook or feel you need more information, please use the ABC-CLIO Database. Go to: http://databases.abc-clio.com/Multi/. The username is ³JUHDWYDOOH\´DQGWKHSDVVZRUGLV³OLEUDU\´. Access to this website is provided by the Great Valley Library. If you have any questions on how to access this site, please e-mail me. During the school year, you will be required to outline a chapter (or two) every weekend. We will spend the first week of school going over note-taking strategies to help you through this process. During the school year, your outline may be hand-written. Your summer outline, though, must be typed and uploaded to www.turnitin.com to be checked for plagiarism/cheating by the assigned due date. Finally, be prepared for an exam on the first Friday of the school year. It will cover: Chapter 1 ± The New Beginning Chapter 2 ± The Planting of English America Chapter 3 ± Settling the Northern Colonies Part 2 ± Book Review While reading and outlining the text is one major aspect of this course. Another course is being able to read and understand content and then use that content to make a clear argument in writing. To that end, you are to choose a book from the attached list and complete a book review that responds to the following prompt: ,QZULWLQJWKLVERRNZKDWZDVWKHDXWKRU¶V argument/goal?

Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

  • Lindsay—Spring 2015 (Initial Syllabus)
    American Legal History Seminar—Lindsay—Spring 2015 (initial syllabus) LIBERTY, EQUALITY & CITIZENSHIP IN UNITED STATES HISTORY (American Legal History Seminar: Law 864—512) Professor Lindsay Course Overview In a formal, legal sense, “citizenship” refers to the set of rights and obligations that a person acquires by virtue of his or her membership in a political community. As an object of political and cultural discourse, however, the concept of citizenship is often freighted with a much broader set of questions: What does it mean to be American? What are the indices of full membership in the American polity? Who can satisfy the conditions of full membership at a given moment in history, and who cannot? To what kinds of rights and opportunities is a citizen entitled? In this Seminar, we will examine how the meaning of American citizenship has been transformed between the nation’s founding and the middle of the twentieth century. We will consider how both the content of, and criteria for admission to, full citizenship have evolved in relation to profound upheavals in American life and labor, and the gradual, if halting, ascendency of racial and gender egalitarianism. In doing so, we will place particular emphasis on two foundational, yet perpetually contested and remarkably protean, elements of American civic identity: “liberty” and “equality.” Class Meetings: Wednesday, 6:15-9:00 p.m., in AL 109 Office Hours: Tuesday, 2:00-4:00, and by appointment, in AL 513 Course Materials Required Text: ERIC FONER, THE STORY OF AMERICAN FREEDOM (1998) [available at the UB Bookstore] Additional required readings will be posted on TWEN.

INTRODUCTION With the publication of Gordon S. Wood’s Empire of Liberty, the Oxford History of the United States, first envisioned nearly fifty years ago, has finally reached the two-thirds mark. Seven of its eleven chronological volumes and one thematic volume are now published. This essay reviews these eight works. It would be best to wait until all twelve volumes are published but, given the glacial progress of the series, who can wait that long? The first volume, Middlekauff’s narrative of the American Revolution, was published in my final year as an undergraduate.

  • 2013 OAH Annual Meeting ◆ San Francisco, California | 1 T Attractions in Attractions in San Francisco San Francisco
    welcome here are few cities in the United States where members of the OAH prefer to meet more than the City by the Bay. San Francisco as a conference Tcity or as a tourist destination is hard to beat—it has something for every visitor. Our 2013 program, likewise, has something for every OAH conferee. The program committee, so ably cochaired by Tom Guglielmo and Erika Lee, assembled sessions, panels, workshops, and plenaries that link to nearly every subfield of American history. A large number link directly to the conference theme of “Entangled Histories,” which explores the complexities, intersections, and tensions that characterize so much of US history. Although we cannot promise ideal California weather in April, we can promise an engaging and rich intellectual experience. Plenary sessions, featuring an outstanding cast of colleagues, will consider two different topics. The first, titled “Freedom Struggles”—in commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Abraham Lincoln 150 years ago—will address benchmark Linda A. Cicero / Stanford News Service developments in the long history of Americans’ pursuit of equality. A second plenary will focus on the topic of “corporations in American life,” a subject of enormous importance to the history of industrial capitalism in the United States. It is a topic with a contemporary resonance that matches its historical significance. Both plenary sessions reflect “entangled histories,” the first about race, in knowledge about the area; a bus tour of the Mission ideologies of difference, and power, and the other about District’s world-famous murals; or a must-see tour of the wealth, class, and power.
