- Inhalt
- During the presidency of Donald J. Trump, protest movements have gained significant traction and influence in the United States. This trend is likely to continue, with pressure applied to the Biden Administration from both the left and the right.
This class explores the role protest movements play in American politics, which groups have (not) been able to organize successfully, and what levers of power have historically (not) produced political success. A diverse spectrum of forms of political protest will be the subject of this class. They include organizations such as the American Indian Movement or Fridays for Future, but also less organized, but not necessarily less successful, protest forms such as pro-life protests or movements that formed around “The Squad,” / Bernie Sanders or American folk singers Pete Seeger / Woody Guthrie.
