Section Info: Title: Constructing Race in America Topic: This course examines the cetral role racialization and racial ideology historically have played in shaping U.S. institutions, culture, and politics. Through readings, in-class discussions, lectures, presentations, and writing assignments, students will engage with questions of race and ethnicity in U.S. history: What is race? How have dominant social, political, cultural, and economic institutions racialized certain groups and in what interests? What does race have to do with notions of citizenship and belonging? How have meanings attached to certain racial classifications, as well as the classifications themselves, changed over time, and why? What does race ideology have to do with capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, and gender ideology? What role have white supremacy and anit-racist struggle played in the development of U.S. institutions? How is this history relevant to making sense of current U.S. culture and politics?
