Section Title:
Race & Ethnicity in Chicago
Section Info:
Topic: As the "Second City" located in the heartland of America, Chicago is central to many debates on urban space, race, and nation. This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to these issues and focuses on racial and ethnic groups in this city. We will examine issues of migration, gender, segregation, and education from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Chicago is an influential site in which Latina/os, African-Americans, Asians-Americans, and ethnic whites have come to understand meanings of race in a highly segregated setting. Furthermore this course asks, is Chicago a typical or exceptional city? How do racial and ethnic relations in Chicago illuminate social relations in the rest of the nation? Meets with LLS 296, CRN 58521.
