HIST 0672 - NATIVES AND NEWCOMERS


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will focus on diversifying the narrative of North American history by providing a broad overview of important events, processes, and people that shaped this continent from the fifteenth century to the modern-day. Through a focus on the communities and political institutions created through contact between Native Americans, people of African descent, and white Europeans, students will learn that the United States and its colonial predecessors were shaped by a multiracial, multicultural group of peoples who created multiethnic settlements in different parts of North America simultaneously. These interactions produced the ideas about race and racism, citizenship, national borders, and political sovereignty we still encounter today.
