LV-Beschreibung
Inhalt/e
This course was inspired by Carl Jensen’s book “Stories That Changed America – Muckrakers of the 20th Century”, an anthology of “individuals, journalists and other social reformers, whose words helped to change the course of history and improve life for others” (Jensen 2000, 20). Ever since the late 19th century, such writers have exposed social and political ills in an effort to effect social reform in the face of obstacles and while taking great personal and financial risks. This course focuses on representative works from this category including Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” (1906) as a representative work of the original group of early 20th century muckrakers, and more recent examples of investigative journalism that have played a key role in social change.
