CAST 332 - Chinatowns, Ghettos, and Barrios as Urban America

 Using Boston, New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles as case studies, this course examines racialized spaces in urban America. We will challenge the view that treats such spaces as alien to American life and detrimental to American society.  We will explore these spaces as integral parts of modern America, comparing the ways they have been used to mark the boundaries of American/non-American, healthy/sick, normal/abnormal, and legal/illegal.
