Institution:

Reed College

Subject:

Description:

Full course for one semester. This course will consider how notions of racial and ethnic difference in the United States have changed over time and place. Through primary and secondary readings and films, we will explore the experiences of Indian, Anglo, Irish, African American, Asian American, and Latino peoples in the North, South, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, Far West, and places in between. We will ask how regional variation has changed the lived experience of race and ethnicity in the United States from the colonial period to the civil rights movements and culture wars of the 1960s and 1970s. We will also ask how an attention to region has changed the historical scholarship on race and ethnicity. Conference.
