This course examines social movements in the U.S. in the second half of the twentieth century, particularly those addressing racial and gender inequalities in American society. Thinking comparatively, the course includes study of the black freedom struggle, American Indian Movement, and the “Yellow Power” and “Brown Power” movements. We also consider struggles that cross (and complicate) ethno-racial identity such as feminism, gay rights, worker rights, and third world liberation.
