    Description
    This survey course is a comparative and interdisciplinary examination of the lived-experiences and social struggles of African American, Asian American, Latina/Latino American and Native American communities in the United States. The course will interrogate categories of identity and power such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality and explore theoretical concepts and socio-historical processes, including colonization and immigration; the development of race as a social category; political conditions; economics, labor and the persistence of social inequalities; cultural expression and resistance; and social justice movements.
