    History and Edward Said

    After the 1970s there was a movement in the field of history to challenge previously held historical views that were steeped in a Eurocentric worldview. Edward Said was a scholar who had made a major mark in historical scholarship and contributed to historical revisionism. Even though he was not a formal historian, his work and ideas have influenced recent historical scholarship. In a discussion post, explain who Edward Said is and discuss his contribution to historical research. You should give a minimum of 3 sentences on who he is and a minimum of 4 sentences on his contribution.

  • What does the UCLA Campus Prioritize more Donor Naming vs. H…

  • Primary Source/Podcast Response

    1. How does Tecumseh (Shawnee) want to solve the problem of American encroachment
    and Indian land cessions? Compare Tecumsehs views with those of Alexander
    McGillivray (Creek). How are they similar and different, and what does this tell us about
    Native American resistance in the late 18th and early 19th centuries?

    2. Why should the US declare war, according to Congressman Felix Grundy of
    Tennessee? Conversely, what arguments does his colleague from Virginia, John
    Randolph, make to argue against a declaration of war against Britain? Be comprehensive
    in your evaluation (that is, each Congressman provides an array of reasons to support his
    position). Finally, in what ways do the primary source intersect with todays podcast
    about the War of 1812? Elaborate using at least three examples from the podcast.
