"Untied States:" Race and Ethnicity in American History

This course examines race and ethnicity in American history from the colonial period to the present. It will contrast the historical experiences of various racial and ethnic groups and will examine how each group was treated in relationship to other groups. In particular, we will examine how the racial and ethnic diversity of the U.S. has informed debates about American identity. The course also integrates Hawaiian history into the wider history of race and ethnicity in the U.S., showcasing "local" cultural patterns as both exceptions to and exemplars of wider American and global patterns of race and ethnicity.
