Cíle předmětu
General aims: To support students in a process of personalizing history and relating it to their own cultures and everyday experiences. To focus students learning on a variety of perspectives on historical isssues and to critically explore differing points of view on these issues. To provoke students into questioning stereotypes and challenging racist attitudes. To support students in their development of affirmative understanding of ethnic and cultural groups. The main topic of the course: Race and Membership in American History - membership not only as a sense of belonging to a group, but also as freedom and right to belong and to participate so as to live a full and decent life. In our course we are going to see how millions of Americans were fighting for this dream.
