Writing About Race in the Post-Civil Rights Era
AFAM 169 FA
This course will examine the kinds of political writing about race that have appeared since the end of the Civil Rights era. It is not the intention of this course to try to trace a history of these texts but rather to
explore in what ways public policy advocates, journalists, academics, and legal analysts have written about race as a feature in American social life.
