The course begins with theoretical conceptions of race and ethnicity and how they inform notions of citizenship, group membership, structural racism, and racial hierarchies. Subsequent topics include voting and redistricting, electoral politics, segregation and discrimination, social movements, and cooperation and competition within and among minority groups. Finally, selected contemporary policy issues and practices will be discussed in light of their impact on minority communities such as criminal justice, education, health care, and environmental policy.
