America between World Wars
Sunday, July 24, 2005 to Saturday, July 30, 2005
Ashland University, Ashland, Ohio

In the 1920s, changes in America that had been underway for several decades came fully into view. This is the period when cultural wars first appeared (e.g., The Scopes Trial) and the transformative effects of industrial capitalism touched every part of American life. In the 1930s, an economic crisis challenged received views of the proper relationship of the government to the economy. The course examines various political and economic changes that occurred in this period, with a special emphasis on the New Deal.

Instructors: John Moser is Assistant Professor of History at Ashland University. He is the author of Twisting the Lion's Tail: American Anglophobia Between the World Wars and Presidents from Hoover through Truman, 1929-1953. Alonzo Hamby is Distinguished Professor of History at Ohio University. He has written two books on Harry Truman: Beyond the New Deal: Harry S. Truman and American Liberalism and Man of the People: A Life of Harry S. Truman. His most recent book is The Survival of Democracy: Franklin Roosevelt and the World Crisis of the 1930s.
