Course Description: AMST 319 America, Hawai‘i, and World War II (3) DH is an interdisciplinary exploration of
WWII as a watershed in American and Hawai‘i history and culture. Topics include: Pearl Harbor, War in the Pacific,
Japanese American internment, Nanjing, and the dawn of the Atomic Age. Our mode of engagement is not to look
at events in themselves but rather how they are remembered, forgotten, and mobilized in public history and
discourses. This class, therefore, will also provide you an introduction into the multifaceted arena of public history
in America. By answering such questions as: How is history communicated to the public? How do public history
sites contribute to public memory? How and why do controversies emerge in public history settings? What is the
relationship between academic history and public history? How does tourism economics and Globalization affect
the practice of public history? This class will explain the role of public history in providing you “knowledge” of
proper citizenship and belonging, and a way to decipher how people “make meaning” in a variety of spaces and
discourses. Debates/(Dis)agreements over exhibitions at such locations as the Smithsonian and other sites of
commemoration managed by the National Park Service (such as Pearl Harbor) illustrate some of the risk, as well as
promise, of doing public history. Tough yet interesting times in America – hence the need for a class on public
history and commemoration. These commemorations will prove to be all the rage making them ripe for argument
and contestation vis-à-vis the meaning and interpretation (or “spin”) those in the public place on these events.
Through the examination of the Enola Gay controversy, filmic representations, and a site examination, this class
will provide you a peek into the political and social impact of public history. Course materials will be written up in
the form of an introductory note, followed by reflective tasks, video clips, and internet links to augment the
seminar materials.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLO): The Department of American Studies has established SLOs for undergraduates
in the program. The department’s goal is to ensure undergraduates in AMST courses are able to reach these
outcomes through courses such as this. The department’s SLOs are:
1. Substantial knowledge of American history, society, and culture, as well as a basic appreciation of different
scholarly approaches to American Studies.
2. Critical thinking skills necessary to analyze a variety of cultural artifacts (literature, primary documents, film,
music, etc.), as well as historical and present-day sociopolitical issues.
3. Competence in scholarly writing and oral communication.
4. Basic research skills, including advanced research skills in one area of specialization (majors only).
This course is designed to contribute to these SLOs through a critical analysis of primary documents, films, and
monographs on a variety of topics that engage contemporary American domestic issues.
Note on Academic Integrity: This course will deal with controversial issues, and over the course of the semester,
we will find that many of us hold different views. This should not stop you from fully expressing your opinions and
even challenge your peers. However, please remain respectful of others’ viewpoints and avoid mixing intellectual
with personal attacks. All of your writing must be your own. Be sure to cite where appropriate the work of others.
For an explanation of what constitutes plagiarism, please refer to the section on academic integrity in the UH
Manoa catalog. If you have questions concerning citations and other issues in your writing, please contact me by
email at any time. See: http://www.catalog.hawaii.edu/about-uh/campus-policies1.htm
