AAS 3875W - Comparative Race and Ethnicity in U.S. History (3 Cr.) Diversity and Soc Justice US, Historical Perspectives, Writing Intensive

Global Studies Department (10971) TCLA - College of Liberal Arts

Course description

This writing-intensive course examines the racial history of modern America. The focus is placed on how American Indians, African Americans, and immigrants from Europe, Asia, and Latin America struggle over identity, place, and meanings of these categories in society where racial hierarchy not only determined every aspect of how they lived, but also functioned as a lever to reconstitute a new nation and empire in the aftermath of the Civil War. We are interested in studying how these diverse groups experienced racialization not in the same way but in various and distinct ways in relation to each other.
