Class Description:: This course is designed to familiarize students with the history of U.S. public policy development and social relations across racial-ethnic-nation cultures. The focus will be on the United States, but recent developments from the global context will be incorporated for comparative purposes. In this course we will examine the structural and institutional conditions through which people of color have been systematically marginalized, and how diverse populations have fought for and won or lost policy change. The course will help students better understand and interpret the "dominant paradigm" in which public policy has been set. Then, we will examine how and why this paradigm has shifted over time, and what the current prospects are for policy transformation in the domestic and global arenas.
