- "Race" has been an important of American history, but we try to talk about a "post-racial" society in the 21st century. This class will cover the origins of race (and racism), before diving into race in American history and the consequences this history has for contemporary race relations. We will discuss what exactly "race" is and isn't, why race and racism are central to American politics and culture, and how "race" in the post-Civil Rights Era and the 21st century has both declined and grown in significance.
