Homeland
2004–2005

During the year 2004-2005, many of the Vera List Center’s programs are dedicated to an interdisciplinary exploration of the theme of “Homeland.” Topics of inquiry include the effects of the war in Iraq on American political life; the history of the concept of Homeland Security; the émigré experience and the state of being between two “homes”; contemporary and traditional perspectives on homeland in a Native American context; and the debate surrounding what constitutes a country.
