LH36. RACE AND IMMIGRATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY
This course will trace the history of immigration in the United States and its interaction with race as the growing population of the country became less Protestant and more diverse. Beginning with the Know- Nothing Party of the mid-19th century, the advent of Nativism, fostered by 19th century racial theory, the course will detail how these ideas continue to impact on current American politics.
