    Description
    This course is a history of the United States since Reconstruction from the perspective of its multicultural working people. Beginning with the Gilded Age and proceeding through the contemporary era of `globalism', the course examines a wide variety of issues including class, gender, and race, work conditions, living standards, and the impact of collective action. Special attention is paid to Constitutional amendments, legislation, and court interpretations affecting the lives of working people.
