LAS 341 - 20th Century Workers’ Tales

3 hours
This course will focus on the social, political and emotional turmoil that workers faced during the first half of the 20th Century, and how many lives were affected by a system that was indifferent to their struggles. The course will include classics like Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, and selections from James Joyce’s Dubliners and Ernest Hemingway’s In Our Time. Bob Dylan’s protest songs will also be studied to further illuminate the literature as well as establish an historical framework for class discussions.
