Political Science
This course will examine the way in which the legal system, through court decisions, treaties and legislation, systematically discriminated against Native Americans, African Americans, Latin Americans, Asian Americans and certain Eastern European Americans.  The course will examine the narratives developed to justify these polices and look at how some of the same narratives are being used today to target certain racial minorities.
