Expanded Course Description
| This course focuses on the United States’ project of eliminating (removing) Native Americans from the eastern half of the United States.
This project is primarily associated with the Indian Removal Act of 1830, signed into law by Andrew Jackson, and subsequent “trails of tears” (the most famous of which is the Cherokees’ Trail of Tears, 1838-1839). We will give significant attention to the Indian Removal Act and the removals of the 1830s, but the course will treat what Patrick Wolfe termed the “logic of elimination” as a broader project, one that is foundational to the creation of the U.S. in 1776-1783, and that involved not only forcible relocation but war and other forms of dispossession. In addition to providing an analysis of the U.S. removal project and assessing its destructive impact on Native Americans, the course will also consider the perspectives and strategies of Indian nations at the time. About six weeks of the term will be devoted to familiar pedagogical techniques (lectures, class discussions based on assigned readings, and conventional writing assignments). During four of the weeks, the course will use the innovative Reacting to the Past pedagogy, in which each student will be assigned a role to play in an elaborate “game” simulating debates about the removal of the Cherokees.
