This unit takes as its starting point the diversity of historical experiences as they relate to urban America. Subjects include: the development of distinct urban governance; race, inequality, and segregation; urban subcultures; sexuality; leisure and consumption; social movements; and the city as juridically specific space in American history. Beyond historical methodologies students will also delve into the varieties of urban anthropology, geography, and sociology.
