This colloquium surveys recent scholarship about race and inequality in the modern United States. Together we will examine how racial categories have been constructed, how they have changed over time, how they have structured institutions and identities, and how they have rationalized the unequal distribution of power, resources, rights, and privileges. Topics covered include transnational migration, the rise and fall of Jim Crow, the shifting contours of whiteness, redlining and racist real estate practices, the model minority myth, and mass incarceration.
