Fall '10: World War Propaganda in Britain & US
This seminar examines multi‐media propaganda in World War I and World War II Britain and the United States to
investigate the total war experience, the relationship between these two nations, and the workings of a critical
weapon. Propaganda was a bloodless weapon in an era of hightech tools, but it was also a feared and ubiquitous
one. Some of the issues addressed in this course will include: Who were some of the targets of propaganda? How were posters different from films or radio broadcasts? What were the messages of propaganda? What does propaganda say about these nations as cultures and societies as well as about their war efforts? We will analyze multimedia primary sources as well as use secondary ones in our discussions.
DO WANT.
(--But I already have like twice the history credit required. One more fluff class and I will not graduate in 5 years.)POOOORRR QUUUUÉÉÉÉ.
