SOC 240 – People of Mixed Descent

SOC 240 – People of Mixed Descent

University of San Francisco
2011-2012

This course examines the experiences of mixed race populations (mulattos, mestizos, mixed blood Native Americans, and Eurasians) in comparative perspective. Using these experiences, as well as sociological theories (assimilation, third culture, marginality, and multiculturalism), we study how race is a social and political construct, with tangible and material repercussions. Offered intermittently.
