HIST 259 - History of Sports in America
Credits:
3.00
This course examines the development and explores the meanings of American sports from the colonial era through the twentieth century. Historically, sports have offered Americans an arena in which to play out many of the nation¿s most important and contentious cultural issues. Precisely because sports are largely seen as ¿apolitical,¿ the meanings of race, gender, and class are worked out on the field with a candor not possible elsewhere. Through lectures, discussions, and both primary and secondary readings, we will examine the relationship between Americans and sports. In particular, we will focus on the links between sports and America¿s sense of itself as a nation, explore the effects of industrialization, urbanization, and immigration on sporting life and practice, and discuss the ways in which sports both reinforce and challenge historical meanings of racial and gender identity. We may even get in a game or two ourselves.
