Certificate Course: Race & Caste
Course Description:
The purpose of this class is to look at how caste functions in South Asia and its parallels while attending to issues of race dynamics in North America. We will use the book Caste by Isabel Wilkerson as a foundation to examine her argument and explore the parallels between these two contexts around caste, religion, and race. Finally, we will attend to the liberation movements afoot in these contexts for those assigned historically to the lowest caste.
