AAST 4677 - Arab American Identity

Institution:

University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the formation of Arab American identity by exploring its origins and several markers of its development. Beginning with the political changes in the Arab Americans' ancestral homelands leading up to WWI, we reconcile the immigrants' feelings of peoplehood with recent studies on aspects of their ethnic, racialized, nationalist, gendered, and assimilative lives. The course addresses responses to the Arab Americans' official status as "white," sample of Arab American feminist writings, manifestations of political awareness in the U.S. in response to political changes in the Middle East, and the Arab Americans' place within studies on ethnicity, gender, and race before and after September 11, 2001. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture CASL - Administration Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
