Students will deepen their understanding and appreciation of the ways in which race, ethnicity, and cultural diversity have shaped American institutions, ideology, law, and social relations from the colonial era to the present.
Race and ethnicity are ideological and cultural categories that include all groups and individuals.
Therefore, this course is designed in large part to take a broad look at the ideology of racial and cultural diversity in the United States, past and present.
The primary focus is on the historical and social relationships among European Americans, Native Americans, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian/Pacific Americans.
Themes of race and ethnicity are examined across different ethnocultural traditions to weave diverse experiences into a larger synthesis of the meaning of race and ethnicity in American life.
In this course, we conceive of “race” and “diversity” as referring to the entire American population, even while acknowledging that different groups have unique historical experiences that result in distinctive and even fundamental cultural differences.
We treat race and ethnicity as complex and dynamic ideological and cultural processes that shape all social institutions, belief systems, relationships between groups, and individual experiences.
