Section Info:
Topic: Race and the U.S. Empire The course analyzes the relationship between representations of racialized people and the construction of the American empire. Throughout the American Century, the political and intellectual elite framed a discourse that extolled the virtues of Christian Anglo-Saxon genius and portrayed non-white people and women as genetically and biologically incapable of political and economic development. Theories of racial and gender inferiority were devised by leading academic and scientific figures and widely disseminated through the rapidly expanding press, increasingly affordable books and magazines, and continually evolving media technologies. This course will examine the evolution of a foundational ideology of racial supremacy that rationalized slavery, conquest, displacement and colonialism, and how this ideology was enshrined through the media Students will undertake independent projects that interrogate the media construction and use of racial imagery in the service of capitalist development and empire building both historically and in the contemporary moment.
