HIS 435 SEGREGATION IN AMERICA

This class gives segregation a history. With a focus on Boston, St. Louis and New Orleans, students will consider how race, ethnicity, and class have structured urban property and labor markets, spurred political struggle and have exposed some to environmental risks. In addition to providing a historical overview of segregation from an interdisciplinary perspective, the class introduces students to tools used by urban historians, such as census, plat, and fire insurance maps.
