AMST-420 U.S. Race, Politics, and Power (3)


This seminar explores emerging approaches to understanding U.S. politics, relations of power, and race-making. The course explores a broad range of subjects such as imperialism, state terror, settler colonialism, reproductive justice, im/migration, racism, gender, transnationality, sexuality and more, all from an interdisciplinary perspective. Merging history and theory, the class situates its own critical perspectives within scholarly conversations and U.S. politics today.
