From the coyote and the half-breed to the \u201ctragic\u201d mulatto<\/a>, people of mixed ethnic and racial heritage occupy a conflicted and controversial place in American history. This course will chart the histories of people of mixed heritage from the colonial period<\/a> to the present, exploring the relationship between the historical experiences of mixed heritage and broader trends in American history including slavery, imperialism, legal transformation, and changing cultural patterns. We will also consider current social theories of hybridity<\/a> and mestizaje<\/em>.<\/p>\n
