Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

This four credit hour course focuses on the ethnic/racial experiences of Native, African, Latino and Asian Americans through representative works of fiction, nonfiction and film. We will look at the way racial and ethnic identities are produced through political struggle on a local/national/global scale and how they are maintained and transformed over time. We also pay close attention to the ways in which race and ethnicity intersect with gender, sexuality, class, parental pressure, and nation in order to better understand how systems of power and inequality are constructed, reinforced, and challenged.
