Mode(s) of Instruction: In-person
FC SSCI CD

4 credits
From ‘White Lives Matter’ to ‘Jews will not replace us,’ America has recently witnessed a resurgence of white supremacist and antisemitic political activity under the rubric of ‘white nationalism.’ This course offers a U.S.-focused, comparative exploration of anti-Jewish and white supremacist ideology and politics. It examines their shared roots in European Christian societies; the different ways they were transposed to North America through conquest, colonization, and slavery; and their subsequent evolutions, intersections, and organized manifestations.
This course is cross-listed with POLT 241

Course Last Offered/Scheduled: Spring 2021
