Section Info:
Topic: "Race, Immigration, Rights, and Culture." Meets with LLS 396, CRN 52859, section NP. This interdisciplinary course explores the histories, cultures, and experiences of im/migration to the U.S. by examining cultural productions (literary and visual narratives and texts) alongside legal discourses (legislation, court cases, legal scholarship) and historical analyses. Informed by critical race theory, ethnic studies, and cultural studies scholarship, it pays particular attention to the tensions between the legal discourses and practices that seek to regulate im/migrants and the cultural productions that articulate the limits of the law. The course examines themes including the closing/opening of U.S. borders to manage the entry of im/migrants; the conflict between capitalism/labor and nation over issues of im/migration; and naturalization and the limits of citizenship.
