    Description
    54 hours lecture per term. This Ethnic Studies course is a comparative study of the experiences of American Indian, Black/African American, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Chicanx/Latinx women in the United States. Ranging from theoretical to first-person narrative, the interdisciplinary texts in this course examine interlocking categories of power that include race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and culture. Students will explore feminist of color critiques of imperialism, capitalism, nationalism, immigration, labor, gendered violence, representation, and public policy. We will focus on oppositional consciousness and resistance to oppression in the scholarship and literature of American Indian, Black/African American, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Chicanx/Latinx feminists and the ways they engage in liberatory practices that aim to eliminate social inequities and all forms of oppression. Students may be required to attend a relevant academic conference or community event as part of the course. (Degree Credit) (CSU) (UC) AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC (C-ID: SJS 120)
