J400: THE GREAT DEPRESSION IN HISTORY AND FILM The Rise and Fall of the new deal Order, 1930 Inquiry into the Impact of the GreatDepression, survey from Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes (new Haven Yale http://www.indiana.edu/~bodnarje/depressn.htm
Extractions: Course Description: This course will examine the history of the economic depression that devastated the United States during the 1930s. It will look at historical literature that interprets the events and politics of the time, but it will study more extensively the films of the era. The intellectual goal of the course is to move beyond the historic record and attempt to understand how Hollywood films interpreted the Great Depression. These films not only provided a striking record of what Americans thought was going on at the time but a view that differed from some of the major political movements of the decade. The course is a seminar. Reading and discussion will take the place of the normal lecture. Relevant films will be screened and discussed, and papers will be prepared on topics assigned by the instructor. Grades will be based on participation in discussions and, primarily, on an evaluation of writing assignments which are explained below. Discussion and writing will center on four major areas. In the first part of the course we will read some historical accounts of the depression and look at how films, like Heroes for Sale and Public Enemy attempted to make sense of the economic crisis as it first hit and offer some solutions. In the second part of the seminar we will read material on the plight of women in the depression and look at films that attempted to offer women a way out. The third part of the course will look at the cinema of Frank Capra and his populist solutions for hard times. And, finally, we will discuss the plight of the migrants to California in the thirties and the film version of their story

McElvaine The Ghosts of Hopewell: Setting the Record Straight in the Lindbergh Case Jim Fisher Buy This Art Print At AllPosters.com The Great Depression is the period of history that followed "Black Thursday", the stock market crash of Thursday, October 24, 1929. The events in the United States triggered a world-wide depression, which led to deflation and a great increase in unemployment. On the global scale, the market crash in the USA was a final straw in an already shaky world economic situation. Germany was suffering from hyperinflation of currency, and many of the Allied victors of World War I were having serious problems paying off huge war debts. In the late 1920s the American economy at first seemed immune to the mounting troubles, but with the start of the 1930s it crashed with startling rapidity. The nations economy had thus been showing some signs of distress for months before October 1929. Business inventories of all kinds were three times as large as they had been a year before (an indication that the public was not buying products as rapidly as in the past); and other signposts of economic healthfreight carloads, industrial production, wholesale priceswere slipping downward.

Extractions: The Topic: The Great Depression Easier - The 'Great Depression' was a period in United States History when business was poor and many people were out of work. Harder - The Great Depression began in October 1929, when the stock market in the United States dropped rapidly. Thousands of investors lost large sums of money and many were wiped out, lost everything. The 'crash' led us into the Great Depression. The ensuing period ranked as the longest and worst period of high unemployment and low business activity in modern times. Banks, stores, and factories were closed and left millions of Americans jobless, homeless, and penniless. Many people came to depend on the government or charity to provide them with food. The Depression became a worldwide business slump of the 1930's that affected almost all nations. It led to a sharp decrease in world trade as each country tried to protect their own industries and products by raising tariffs on imported goods. Some nations changed their leader and their type of government. In Germany, poor economic conditions led to the rise to power of the dictator Adolf Hitler. The Japanese invaded China, developing industries and mines in Manchuria. Japan claimed this economic growth would relieve the depression. This militarism of the Germans and Japanese eventually led to World War II (1939-1945).
