LASS313 American Radical Tradition 3cr

What is radicalism (as distinct from liberalism)? Is there an American (as distinct from an international) radical tradition? By focusing on the anti-slavery movement before the Civil War, the Industrial Workers of the World of the first quarter of the twentieth century, and the New Left of the 1960s, the class probes these questions.
