Bibliography

Note: Not all items in the Bibliography are required readings. For each topic, required readings will be selected from the Bibliography as listed in the Schedule; however, additional readings may be selected during the semester. Thus, this should be considered a general and historic bibliography that may be useful not only for this course but also, among others, for preparation for the qualifying exam.

Organization: Bibliography is organized by topics as listed and described in more detail in the section Outline of Topics in course syllabus.

Finding full text for items in the bibliography: journal articles can be obtained from Rutgers University Library (RUL) collection of electronic and print journals; all other items are either on RUL class reserve for the course or a URL is given.
