Cíle předmětu
This seminar/discussion course will look at America not as one land, but as a collection of very different cultures. Regional differences such as North/South, East/West as well as the ethnic differences of African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Asian-Americans and Native Americans will be studied. The point will be to try to understand what it means for a land to be so culturally diverse and still one nation. This is a "round table" seminar where each student is expected to have read the assigned texts and share his/her opinions during the discussion. The class will include individual student research presentations.
