This course examines race, racism and antiracism in the Americas from an anthropological perspective by exploring the perspectives and lived experiences of racialized people across the Americas. Instructed using the scholarship of BIPOC scholars, the course examines issues such as: the social construction of race and scientific racism; whiteness and privilege; the intersection of race, gender, and class; systemic racism and structural inequities; and the relationship between racism and health inequity. The course also explores antiracist social justice movements and acts of resistance against discrimination and pervasive racial violence and injustice in the Americas.
