CAST 311 - Militarization of American Daily Life


4 SS, CD, WR
First Semester. How has the historic and contemporary reality of war and war preparation shaped daily life in the United States? And what have been the repercussions of militarization beyond U.S. geopolitical boundaries both throughout the Americas and globally? This course takes a broad view of “American” daily life to consider how war, war preparation, and the underlying assumption that war is both a natural fact of life and part of human nature shape the experiences of people throughout the Americas, as well as the globalizing reach of American military power throughout the 20th century.
