(Soc. 200 TLN 8100 3 units) A SEARCH course on our relationship to a world in rapid and profound transformation. Do people around the world see the USA as the Beacon of “freedom” and “human rights" or as the source of domination, exploitation and misery? This class will examine how the USA was built on the genocide of Native Americans, the enslavement of Africa and subjugation of other peoples—and the movements by these peoples to regain independence. We’ll look at how North American people have responded and examine the origins and significance of racism, alienation and fear and how we can change this. In addition to understanding this from a theoretical and historical angle, we’ll also talk about how it affects our own lives. The class will combine a film and speaker series with readings, projects, discussion and a practical approach towards solutions. Instructors: Kathie Knowles and Devin Hess.
