This course focuses on two interrelated aspects of post-World War II history-the state policies that created and reinforced segregation and inequality outside the South and the Black Power movement that emerged in the late 1960s, building on the southern Civil Rights Movement to tackle structural inequality that persisted after the passage of the 1964, 1965, 1968 Civil Rights Acts. The class will also engage the emergence of mass incarceration as it relates to existing and adapted forms of structural inequality.
