ETHN 201 — The War on Drugs and BIPOC Communities
An overview of the role of the War on Drugs and its effect on Black, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous, and immigrant communities within the United States. Students will explore intra- and inter-community responses, and the criminalization of drug use rather than its role as a public health crisis. Students will critically engage with the ethnography behind the War on Drugs and consider its role in the larger ethnic studies scholarship of traditionally marginalized groups. (CSU/UC)
