JWST 241 - Anti-Semitism and White Supremacy

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 anti-Semitic 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
