Section Description
The main purpose of this course is to introduce students to the sociological analysis of race and ethnicity in America. We will begin by looking at the concept of “race”—what is it? What does it mean to say that race is socially constructed? We will also examine prejudice and discrimination, as well as patterns of interracial contact. We will then turn to examining ethnic/racial groups within the United States and, in particular, look at the histories of European Americans, Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans.
