HIST 2015 - Immigration and American Identity

3 cr. 3 hr. Offered once every two years beginning fall 2015.

This course examines immigration to America from the beginning of the Age of Exploration to the present day. It includes the experiences of those who came voluntarily, those who arrived in bondage, and those who migrated under other forms of duress. Our goal will be to address some of the major problems in American immigration history. We will conclude the semester by exploring how our own family and community histories have been shaped by immigration history, using our knowledge and research skills to make our own concrete contribution to immigration history.
