American History in Six Songs
Matt Jennings, PhD
Whether you’re in Macon, Memphis, Muscle Shoals,
or Massapequa, music matters, and our varied
musical heritage is one of the best ways to
understand crucial moments in American history.
This course will explore Indigenous expressions,
colonial invasion, forced African migration, and the
cultural shifts of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
Through the interplay of genres and traditions, we’ll
examine how music captures the evolving American
Experience.
