Ethnicity, often linked to but not the same as race, has a complex history in this nation whose motto is "E Pluribus Unum" (from many, one). Ithas been an obstacle to achieving our motto's unity, and it has been a sustaining value to many of our citizens. Often it has been both these things simultaneously. This course examines literary representations of ethnic identity and culture, inviting students to explore definitions of ethnicity and their implications in the daily operations of peoples and nations. The course considers such questions as these: What is the difference between race and ethnicity Do only "minorities" have ethnicity How might we defineethnicity in an increasingly multiracial society How do we handle the history of discrimination in today's world
