Section Info:
Topic: Citizenship Comparatively. Meets with LLS 296, CRN 45709, section B, and GWS 390, CRN 41523, section LC. This class will examine how citizenship has always been conferred and/or denied according to race and gender, focusing on Latinas/os and Asians. We will begin by looking at the ways in which legislation and court cases used race and gender to confer citizenship to Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, but denied citizenship to Asians. Through examining marriage, we will see how women, regardless of race, could be stripped of citizenship if they married "aliens ineligible to citizenship;" we will also analyze how marriage determined whether children born overseas were conferred US citizenship. The second half of the class will explore two interrelated themes: 1) how has the United States used the "noncitizen" category to further exclude people along racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual lines? and 2) how are Asians, Latinas/os, and other immigrants of color challenging and changing the meanings and definitions of US citizenship?
