INT 201 CD Citizenship and Democracy Howard Winant Soc 214A

Race, Ethnicity, Nation: Theory and Experience
Instructor: Howard Winant
Interdisciplinary Studies 201CD/ Sociology 214A
Monday 9-1150 ELLSN 2824

This course focuses on the meaning of race, ethnicity, and nation (REN) as sociological concepts, structures, and lived experiences. “Race” is examined as a case study in social theory, the sociology of culture, and political sociology. The concept of race is quite complex: it exhibits tremendous cross-national and historical variation, operates at both the micro- and macro-social levels, is linked to the world-historical processes of colonialism, capitalist development, cultural representations, gender regimes, etc. Although “race” has no clear meaning or scientific content, the concept stubbornly refuses to lie down and die; it continues to shape our lives and societies both intimately and extensively. Race is situated where culture meets structure, where inequality shapes identity.
