Course Description
This seminar explores the legal history of racism in the post-colonial and post-modern West from critical race and post-colonial theoretical and practice-oriented clinical perspectives. The seminar focuses on the difficulties in defining and understanding the meaning of the term "race;" the nature of "racism" and "oppression;" theories of racial formation; the differing implications of colonization and immigration; the formation of stereotypes; unconscious racism; the gendered and sexualized nature of race; and theories of racial identity.
