Race and Ethnicity in America
Exam Preparation Guide
Course Introduction
Race and Ethnicity in America explores the social, historical, and cultural dimensions of race and ethnicity within the United States. The course examines how concepts of race and ethnicity have evolved over time, shaped by immigration, policy, media, and social movements. Students analyze the lived experiences of diverse racial and ethnic groups, consider the role of systemic inequalities, and engage with theories of identity, intersectionality, and assimilation. Through case studies, readings, and discussions, students gain deeper insight into the complexities of American identity and the ongoing challenges and contributions related to race and ethnicity in contemporary society.
