AM 331 - Critical Whiteness In The U.S.

Credits: 4
An interdisciplinary examination of the racial construction of whiteness across four centuries of American culture and history. Through primary sources, legal cases, historical accounts, literary analysis, cultural criticism, and analysis of fine art the course will examine groups occupying the borders and fringes of whiteness–how they negotiate and struggle for/against this designation and challenge institutional investments in maintaining white supremacy in America.
Note(s): 300-level courses in American Studies are not ordinarily open to first-year students except by permission of the instructor. (Fulfills cultural diversity and humanities requirement; fulfills humanistic inquiry; fulfills bridge experience.)
