This course covers the diversity of experiences and relations among racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Course materials will raise questions and discuss how racial categories and their intersections with class, gender, and sexuality have been used as markers of difference in US history to create persistent patterns of privilege and inequality. We will examine how ideology and “common sense” emerge from, justify, and reproduce existing relations of power, and also how these can be challenged and altered. Throughout, we will address marginalized peoples’ practices of survival, resistance, and alternative world-making despite and because of longstanding oppression.
