Description:

Fall 2008. JENNIFER SCANLON. Women of color are often ignored or pushed to the margins. There is a cost to that absence, obviously, for women of color. As Zora Neale Hurston put it, "There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you." There is also a cost to those who are not women of color, as women of color are encountered as objects, rather than subjects. Addresses the gaps and explores the histories and contemporary issues affecting women of color and their ethnic/racial communities in the United States. (Same as History 245 and Gender and Women's Studies 245.)
