It’s historic. The country’s illiberal/anti-liberal tendencies can be traced back to the founding. It is even evidenced by reviewing the nation’s long-held affinity with authoritarian foreign dictators. Utilizing the scholarship of Steven Hahn, Jacob Heilbrunn, Robert Kagan, Federico Finchelstein, and Farid Zakaria, this class will discuss how the idea of popular anti-liberalism is not new. The ideologies of right-wing populism, anti-globalism, neo-nationalism, and authoritarianism have long been at odds with what was thought to be the nation’s liberal founding. The very idea of freedom for all remains in question.

By the afternoon of December 7, 1941, most Americans had heard that Japanese planes had attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii that morning. Four days later, their country would be at war with Japan, Germany, and Italy. Fighting the Second World War would constitute a profound challenge for the U.S. government and would affect virtually the entire American population in one way or another. This course will examine World War II on the American "home front." Specifically, we will study how the nation's economy was quickly and effectively mobilized for war. We will also analyze how three and a half years of war affected many aspects of American life, including race relations, women's roles, geographic mobility, and domestic politics. Finally, we will examine how Americans on the "home front" learned about what they thought about and the war their relatives and friends were fighting on the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific.
