Class Description:
COURSE DESCRIPTION This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Immigration Act, a law that has transformed immigration to the United States and every aspect of American society, politics, and economy. Today, immigrants make up 13 percent of the U.S. population. Immigrants have, of course, been a central part of the American past as well, and the idea that the United States is a "nation of immigrants" is one of the fundamental premises of American history and popular culture. This course examines the history of immigrants in the United States and their place in American life. We will begin in the colonial era when European servants and African slaves composed the bulk of early migration to America. They were followed by other immigrants from Europe who sought both refuge and economic opportunity as the United States expanded westward and pushed both American Indians and Mexicans from their lands. Immigration increased during the ?century of immigration? from 1830-1930 which witnessed the arrival of Europeans, Asians, and Latin Americans who were recruited to work in the country's factories and farms. African Americans also migrated north in search of work and freedom. Since World War Two, new immigrants and refugees have arrived from Asia, Latin America, and Africa. They have come at a time of increasing immigration regulation, and more recently, during a time when Americans have engaged in a new and divisive debate over immigration. We will examine both the experiences of immigrants in their homelands and in the United States and explore such topics as immigration and colonialism, migration patterns, immigrant labor, families, immigration and gender, race, class, religion, and sexuality, immigration law, acculturation, changing American national identity, and the importance of immigration to the making of modern America. In comparing the past with the present, we will explicitly consider how America's past experiences with immigration inform contemporary social conflicts over diversity and social justice. Reading assignments will include primary sources, autobiographies, and historical scholarship in the forms of essays and books. We will also use the internet and films to complement lectures and class discussions. The final course project is a digital story ? short personal videos with images, text, music, and audio ? about immigration that will be created with the assistance of the Immigration History Research Center. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives and Diversity and Social Justice Liberal Education requirement themes.

Global migrations to U.S. from Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa, from early 19nth century to present. Causes/cultures of migration. Migrant communities, work, and families. Xenophobia, assimilation/integration, citizenship, ethnicity, race relations. Debates over immigration. Place of immigration in America's national identity.
Class Description:
The idea that the United States is a "nation of immigrants" is one of the fundamental premises of American history and popular culture. Yet Americans have always had a complicated relationship to actual immigrants and refugees in our communities. This course will examine the comparative history of immigration to and immigrants in America. We will begin in the colonial era when servants and slaves composed the bulk of early migration to America. They were followed by other immigrants from Europe who sought both refuge and economic opportunity. Immigration increased during the ?century of immigration? from 1830-1930 which witnessed the arrival of Europeans, Asians, and Latin Americans who worked in the country's factories and farms and helped turn the United States into a global economic power. Since World War Two, new immigrants and refugees have arrived from Asia, Latin America, and Africa. They have come at a time of increasing immigration regulation, and more recently, during a time when Americans have engaged in a new and divisive debate over immigration. Following the historical outline of the course, we will examine both the experiences of immigrants in their homelands and in the United States and explore such topics as immigrant labor, families, immigration and gender, race, class, religion, and sexuality, immigration law, acculturation, changing American national identity, and the importance of immigration to the making of modern America. In comparing the past with the present, we will explicitly consider how America's past experiences with immigration inform contemporary social conflicts over diversity and social justice. Reading assignments will include primary sources, autobiographies, and historical scholarship. We will also use the internet and films to complement lectures and class discussions. This course has been submitted to the University's LE committee and we anticipate approval for both Historical Perspectives and Diversity and Social Justice Liberal Education requirement themes beginning Spring 2012.
