HIST 574–Modern U.S. History: Miscegenation, Mixed Race, and Interracial Relationships
Simmons College, Boston, Massachusetts
Summer 2013
Ulli Ryder, Lecturer of History and Africana Studies
This class will explore the conditions for and consequences of crossing racial boundaries in the United States. It will take a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing historical scholarship, literature, legal scholarship, and communication studies, along with several feature and documentary film treatments of the subject. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the ways race has been socially constructed; the connections between race and power in the U.S.; and the possibilities of a non-racist future.
