HSTY 2667: Politics and Cultures of US Imperialism
This unit examines: the expansion of US power overseas in
the twentieth century and its precursors in the nineteenth
century; political, economic and cultural forms of domination
and how these transformed both those societies overseas and
the US itself; the value of applying the concept of imperialism
to US power; the historiography of the US in the world.
