    Description
    The course closely examines race and ethnicity, and the impacts of racism upon Native Americans, Chicanas/os and Lati- nas/os, African Americans, and Asian Americans. This course in- cludes an analysis of the economic, political, social, and cultural impact of racial attitudes, behaviors, practices, and public policy. The course will highlight the ways that race and ethnicity inter- sect with gender, sexuality, class, citizenship, and nation in order to better understand how systems of power and inequality are constructed, reinforced, and challenged. Informed by multiple disciplines, the course will provide a foundation for understand- ing the impact and role of race and racism in major U.S. institu- tions.
