    Description
    Explores the evolution, impact, and future of Ethnic Studies through the history of the social justice and racial equality movements in the U.S. during the 1960s and 1970s. Shows how Ethnic Studies emerged as an academic discipline to provide a relevant education in contrast to ethno-centrism, eurocentrism, and white supremacy. Practices applied methodologies in Social Justice and Ethnic Studies, providing depth of insight into struggles and mobilization strategies for equity, self-determination, liberation, decolonization, and anti-racism.
