    Description
    Historical introduction to race and the interconnected experiences of diverse racial, ethnic, and immigrant groups. Special attention is paid to the ways in which race and ethnicity have intersected with immigration, class, and gender to shape American institutions, social life, and identities over time. Grassroots struggles for liberation and justice, from early abolitionism to the Immigrant Rights and Black Lives Matter movements, are also examined.
