Comments
This course is appropriate for first-year college students. The course introduces students to Ethnic Studies and the diverse institutional, cultural, and historical issues relating to the past and present life circumstances and intersectional identities of the four core populations of Asian Americans, Chicana/o and Latina/o Americans, African Americans, and Native/Indigenous Americans within the United States. These four core groups comprised the 1968-69 Third World Liberation Front, a multiracial, anti- racist, anti-imperialist student movement that originated at San Francisco State University and UC Berkeley.
