America's cultural identity embraces people of diverse backgrounds including many groups that we not think of as having no "ethnic identity" since ethnicity has become synonymous with discourses of race in this country. This course will attempt to tease out the more complicated arguments underlying these national discussions by exploring how many "ethnic" groups, such as Irish Americans, German Americans, Italian Americans, and Jewish Americans, who were identified as ethnically "distinct" in the 19th and early 20th century America, and came to be seen as "white" or having "no" ethnicity by the mid-20th century. 3 credits. This course fulfills the Multiculturalism and Gender requirement in the Undergraduate College's General Education program.
