Enforcing the lines between us and them turns American policies into their distinctive forms: a first-world laggard in social welfare programs, an international leader in government efforts to control (or improve or uplift) its people." This lecture explores how the "us-and-them" division developed in the first half of the 19th century. Does the history of this division gives us any clues about whether - and how - we might transcend it? Part of the course The Culture Wars in America: Past, Present, and Future.

The course surveys the history of consumer culture and advertising, focusing primarily though not exclusively on the United States and investigates the changing strategies that have been used by advertisers from the 19th to the 21st centuries. It approaches advertisements as texts that indicate the cultural attitudes and norms of their time. This course thus provides a cultural approach to advertising and its history as a means to understand advertising as a central component in capitalist economies and its role as an indicator of cultural attitudes and ideologies. It also examines consumer practices, the role that consumerism plays in identity, social trends, and style, and the consequences of a society structured by consumerism. no 1:35:47 Fri, 23 Apr 2010 09:24:01 -0400 immigrant-agency-assimilation-and-beyond-marcel Marcelo Suarez-Orozco Pathways to Immigrant Opportunity We are now in the midst of the largest wave of immigration in history. In every region of the world – Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania – large and growing numbers of people are on the move.
