FIRST YEAR SEMINARS 010 - Bicultural America

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

Biculturalism looms large in America. Given the enormous immigration of people from all corners of the world and the recent strengthening of ethnic identities, many Americans now live bicultural lives. At the same time, mono-cultural individuals are forced to rethink their own concepts of American society, as they live, work, and marry with bicultural partners. In this course, students explore the personal experience of biculturalism through several in-depth cases from biography and literature. Social scientific analysis also helps students to understand all that it means to live "facing two ways." (Dillon)
