Class Notes:
The course asks "What creates and what impedes solidarity among struggles for justice among differently racialized communities?" The course will convene to critically evaluate the ways Ethnic Studies scholarship has analyzed white supremacy by examining a multiplicity of racialized communities in relationship to one another. Collective reflection, reading and writing will locate what these types of studies tell us about power and resistance create scholarship that is relational, intersectional and oppositional. A rethinking of the history and ongoing struggle to achieve social justice by considering the relationship between the many voices that have emerged out of Ethnic Studies. The course will discuss, write, and contemplate on how African-Americans, Chicanas/os, Latinas/os, American Indians, European-Americans, and Asian-Americans interacted, struggled, and conflicted with one another in historical and contemporary U.S. society. Considering that "race" and ethnicity are not static but fluid, ever-changing ideas and experiences, the course will explore a number of areas of social life in which groups interacted including, the family, popular culture, social movements, migration networks, community formations, the workplace, and elsewhere. These considerations will be complicated through an understanding that ethnic and racialized communities are themselves not monolithic and hold shifting differences in the realm of gender, class, nationality, sexuality, etc. Students will convene to reframe through class discussion and writing projects a practice of Ethnic Studies that seeks to inter-relate the many voices of U.S. society while refusing to reduce them. Particular attention to how different groups experience the process of racialization, how they interact with one another across place, space, and time, and how we might begin to craft a multi-racial-ethnic narrative of US history and society.
