POST 020 PZ -US Politics: Resistnce & Transfr

Institution: Pitzer

Description: U.S. Politics: Resistance and Transformation This discussion-based seminar is designed to explore the racialization of American democracy and politics. Despite the inclusive and egalitarian principles written in the U.S. Constitution, words like equality, liberty, and freedom were not universally applied. Exclusion was built into the fabric of American politics, and many of the inequalities we see today stem directly from this early framework. Black people and other people of color have demanded inclusion and representation in American politics, which has broadened opportunities for all. This introductory course will explore the founding of American democracy and politics in a racially divided world, and the ways that minoritized people have broadened American democracy.

Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
