Race and Immigration in U.S. History
HIST 361
Fall 2025
| Section:
01
|
This seminar asks us to consider how we might understand the histories of race and im/migration within the context of a settler colonial nation, beyond the mythology of a "nation of immigrants" at a time when immigrants, migrants, refugees, and non-citizens are under renewed attack in the United States. An emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary historical approaches to U.S. immigration, demonstrating its intersection and entanglement with U.S. imperialism, racial capitalism, transnational racial formations, and the carceral state and policing throughout U.S. history. Students will be exposed to the approaches of cultural, social, gender, political, labour, and legal historians who study these issues, alongside the work of various interdisciplinary scholars of race and im/migration. Though chronologically organized, each session will focus on a different set of peoples, migrations, and themes. Taken together, the course will provide for a strong foundation to understanding the entangled histories of race and im/migration in the United States. |
