This foundation course is the study of various racial, ethnic and cultural components of the American society from the 16th century to the present. Historical and contemporary issues of the American mosaic will be surveyed as they relate to race, ethnicity, religion, cultural diversity, and pluralism. The course will explore a variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical cases in assimilation, discrimination and reverse discrimination, integration, racism, segregation, social harmony, coexistence, and the future of racial and ethnic groups and cultures in the United States. This is, therefore, a course aimed at understanding and analyzing the various situations of our different and differing American populations, suggesting a comparative comprehension of various patterns of group relations.
