This course analyzes the concepts of race and;racism from an interdisciplinary perspective,;with focus on Latinas/os/x in the United States.;It explores the sociocultural, political,;economic, and historical forces that interact;with each other in the production of racial;categories and racial "difference." In;particular, we focus on racial ideologies, racial;formation theory, and processes of racialization,;as well as the relationship between race and;ethnicity. The course examines racial inequality;from a historical perspective and investigates;how;racial categories evolve and form across;contexts. The analysis that develops will;ultimately allow us to think rigorously about;social inequality, resistance and liberation.
This course is limited to first years, sophomores and juniors
