How does the history of American war look when viewed through the lens of decolonial approaches to the past? This is the animating question for 鈥淭he United States at War,鈥� a 15-credit postgraduate module that covers the history of American war from the early national period to the present day. Each week, students will read and engage with the latest historiography on the history of war, all of which seeks to revise and challenge traditional approaches to the study of military and diplomatic history. Classes will focus on questions of race, indigeneity, gender, and empire, prompting students to think about how the reality of American war was so often experienced as a colonial encounter 鈥� something that was possible both 鈥渁broad鈥� in the international locations where the U.S. waged its wars and stationed its troops, and 鈥渁t home鈥� in the domestic spaces consumed by the logics of conflict. The module provides students with insights into the way that the history of U.S. war has been reinvented by historians seeking to understand it from 鈥渢he bottom up鈥� and through the lens of decolonization. In doing so, it engages the following key questions: How was American war experienced as a form of colonial encounter both abroad and at home? How have themes such as indigeneity, race and gender shaped the history of American war? What is the significance of decolonial perspectives on U.S. military and foreign relations history?听
