Our primary focus is on concepts and theories that have influenced the collective experiences of racial and ethnic groups in the United States. • We will not cover every ethnic group. Focusing on the four that were central to the US becoming more conscious of diversity and inequality. • Focusing on concepts that can be applied here and in international contexts to explore how minority groups are socially, politically, economically and culturally situated in other nations. • We study selected historical moments that illustrate race and ethnicity as evolving social constructs that are historical and political in nature and reflect the interests of the dominant culture (Omi and Winant).
