The objective of this course is not merely to equip students with factual historical information about American history, but to primarily challenge students' minds and encourage a critical approach to history. We do this by contextualizing history and focusing more on what lies beneath and beyond the simple event. Instead of narrating, then, we debate and critically question the key events and figures of the American civilization. The hope eventually is for students to fathom/grasp the essence of the American identity and its national myths.
