ETHS 101 — C American Ethnic Studies (formerly ETHS 100 C) 3 Units
Term Hours: 54 lecture. This course is an introduction to the study of race and ethnicity in the United States through a comparative and interdisciplinary examination of the historical experiences of Native Americans, African Americans, Chicanas-os-xs/Latinas-os-xs, and Asian Pacific Americans from the colonial era to the present. Ethnic Studies frameworks and methodologies are employed to analyze historical themes through an intersectional lens that interrogates categories of identity and power such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality. The course explores theoretical concepts and socio-historical processes including colonization and migration; racialization, the development of race as a social category, and the construction of citizenship; the relationship between race and U.S. imperialism; the persistence of social inequalities; and the long historical struggle for racial justice.
