Immigration, Integration, and Exclusion.

Catalog description

This course examines contemporary immigration to the United States. How have immigrant communities been integrated and excluded from U.S. society across its history? How has the immigrant experienced varied by gender and across racial-ethnic groups? Finally, how have the criminal justice and immigration enforcement systems converged to criminalize immigrants? The course will examine controversies surrounding immigrant detention and deportation, as well as the intersecting inequalities of race, class, and gender in immigration enforcement. ( GEGR )
