Harrison, F	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Race, Racism, Antiracism Section Info: During the long hot summer of 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, civil unrest erupted to protest the deadly outcomes of racism, particularly anti-Blackness. People from widely diverse backgrounds marched in the streets to affirm the mantra, Black Lives Matter and attest to its relevance not only in the United States but also in other parts of the world. The existential vulnerability of the racially subjected—Black, Brown, & Indigenous—to police and civilian violence, under the guise of criminal suspicion and self-defense, is a problem that anthropological analysis illuminates. Anthropological scrutiny also belies claims that systemic racism is nonexistent and that critical race theory and related perspectives in the social sciences are unfounded propaganda. This course examines what anthropological research reveals about the cultural meanings, social relations, and power dynamics that create conditions for race, racism, and antiracism in their varied modalities in the United States and other world contexts. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
