CSCR 34100 - Special Topics: Miscegenation, Mulattos, and the American Melting Pot

Institution:

Ithaca College

Subject:

Culture

Description:

Mulattos. Octoroons. Quadroons. Half-breeds. Creoles. Mestizos. Hybrids. This language helps to reveal the American obsession with race mixing. Despite the language, most discussions ignore how miscegenation taps into racial fears, lustful desires, and the American psyche. By investigating the history, policies, laws, language and cultural mores around miscegenation, this course seeks to situate biracial/bicultural peoples within the process of American racialization. 3 credits.
