This course examines the intersecting histories of racial, ethnic, gender, class, and sexual difference in the United States since the turn of the 20th century. Starting with the mass immigration from Eastern and Southern Europe, which began in the 1890s, and ending with the most recent debates about identity politics, this course charts the demographic, cultural, and political changes that have complicated ideas of, and responses to, “difference” in the United States.
