The course starts by examining the nature of racial domination and contestation since the founding of the United States, before moving to contemporary political dynamics, drawing on research from across the social sciences. Emphases include the racial and ethnic features of elections and governance, identity and group solidarity, and socioeconomic structures and resources.
