Racial and Ethnic Politics in the United States
GOV 1317

Course Information

Description

This course will survey foundational texts on how race and ethnicity shape American politics. We will examine canonical theories on how dominant ethno-racial groups react to challenges to their socio-political dominance, learn extensively about how non-white ethno-racial groups negotiate their position in the ethno-racial hierarchy, and learn how to implement social scientific research on race and ethnic politics in the American context.
