Ethnicity, Nationality, Identity
ANTH336 FA

The concepts of ethnic boundaries, the nation-state, and group identity change with cultural context and historical circumstance. In this course, students will examine theories of ethnic and national identity and their application in ethnographies and films of complex, multi-ethnic societies. The literature touches on issues of race, class, gender, and ideology in the construction of citizenship and belonging across disciplinary as well as national borders. The last section of the course looks at globalism, migration, and transnationalism as culture, people, identities, and boundaries move.
