AFST 43204 - Immigration, Ethnicity, Race in the US

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Africana Studies

Description:

Examining monographs, novels, film, photography, poetry, government records, and court cases, we will explore a variety of immigrant groups and time periods--from the Irish of the mid-19th century to Jamaicans, Mexicans, and the Vietnamese today. We will focus on questions of identity--how immigrants have come to understand themselves racially and ethnically over time--and questions of power--where immigrants have been located within America's developing racial order and what difference this has made in their everyday lives--their jobs, homes, families, and opportunities.
