  • HIS 304: Race & the Law

    3.00 Credits
    University at Buffalo

    Credits: 3 Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None Type: SEM Our purpose in this course will be to explore that part of U.S. law that has dealt with the human and civil rights of African Americans (and by implication other racial/ethnic groups in U.S. society. Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, etc.) We will do this by examining the relevant pars of U.S. constitutional law as they have evolved through the dialectical interplay of Congressional legislation and U.S. Supreme Court decisions. However, where appropriate, decisions of the Executive branch made under various Executive Orders will also be considered. The principal theme of this course will be that any understanding and appreciation of U.S. constitutional democracy requires us to acknowledge the powerful role of race in the evolution of this democracy. Consequently, regardless of what time period - from the past to the present - is under consideration, the lives of all in the U.S. (of whatever color and sex) have been touched by the interaction between law and race. Two main parts: in PART ONE we will concentrate on an area of legal studies called Critical Race Theory , where our concern will be to explore the interaction of law and race from the perspective of issues such as culture, history, gender, identity politics, class, the media, etc. In PART TWO we will examine the interaction between race and law from the perspective of the historical evolution of democracy in the U.S.
