The Quest for Racial Reconciliation

3 units

This course is based within African and African American studies, and it explores the quest for racial reconciliation, with emphasis equally divided between the United States and racial strife in other parts of the world. Although racial considerations are inherent to central themes within this course, we explore various sources of linguistic, cultural, social, political, racial, and ethnic foundations of strife at different points in history, and in different regions of the world. Particular attention will be devoted to nonpartisan strategies to advance racial harmony within the United States, and other regions of the world that are of personal interest to students.
