CAST 310 - Comparative Racialization in the United States

First Semester.  This course will explore the contemporary constructions of various racialized groups within the United States in relation to overlapping histories of enslavement, immigration and colonization. We will examine the prevalence and persistence of a binary black and white framework within a nation that has been multiracial from its earliest days. We will pay particular attention to how ideas about “race” have functioned to erase the special status of indigenous people in the US.
