HIS 317 BORDERS, EMPIRE, IMMIGRATION
This course canvasses the colonial, imperial, and national her/histories of North America up to 1898, illustrating the power of borderlands, empire, and im/migration pasts for: women, sexual minorities, and African-, Asian-, Mexican-, and Indigenous Americans. Some questions that will guide this course are: What are borderlands, how are they different, and how have they transformed the continental, indigenous, imperial, and nation-state histories in the spaces that we now occupy? How were racial and national identities, such as “Mexican,” “Diné (Navajo),” or “Black/Negro,” shaped over space and time and in relation to one another? And finally, how has White Supremacy—manifested through U.S. colonialism and imperialism—affected the social milieu of the North American continent?
