Description
•Race in America
This course is an introduction to issues of race, primarily in their effects on the North American socio-political context. Issues covered may range from such historical themes as the lingering impact of slavery and the civil rights movement to the treatment of Native American populations, as well as contemporary discrimination against Asian-American Pacific Islanders, Latinx, and other communities. More recent texts in race theory will also be covered extensively. The goal of the course is to make both American and non-American students more aware of and sensitive to the structural importance of race for the present-day political atmosphere.
