Title: Politics of Racial Violence in America
Description: Racial violence has been a crucial component of the American landscape. In order to broaden our understanding of racial violence in the United States, the readings will examine racial violence against not only African Americans, but against Native Americans, Mexican Americans, and Japanese Americans. We will examine how racist ideologies and violence have worked to keep different groups of people socially, politically, or economically oppressed at a given historical moment. Highlighting major historical events and individual experiences, the course explores racial violence from a variety of perspectives.
