ANTH 3342 - Race in Americas

Institution:

Fordham University

Subject:

Description:

The course will look at the construction, maintenance and articulation of race in the different regions of the continent within a comparative perspective. The main focus on the course will be to assess how different racial meanings and identities are negotiated throughout the Americas, and to see the differences and similarities of these regional over-laps. The course will also focus on how race is historically negotiated with other social categories such as class, status, gender, and sexuality, to produce the vibrant racial identities in the contemporary age of globalization. Particular emphasis will be placed on issues such as the social construction of race, the African diaspora, mestizaje, Indian (Native-American) social movements, and ethnogenesis. 4.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Sociology and Anthropology Department
