Integration, Assimilation and Multiculturalism: America's Immigrant Society

Credit: 3 hours.

How has the United States welcomed immigrants over the past century? Provided and denied opportunities for immigrant integration? Pursued programs to encourage assimilation, or supported multiculturalism? This course examines the structural and attitudinal barriers immigrants navigate on their paths to finding their place in US society over the past century. Using texts, films, memoirs, we will gain insight into the challenges faced by immigrant groups, gain familiarity with how immigrants are classified, and develop basic understandings of core theories, measures, and methods relating to immigrant flows, acceptance and socio-cultural equality.
