Module Outline
This module focuses on theories of race, ethnicity and identity. It applies diverse theoretical approaches to race, ethnicity and identity to historical and contemporary ethnographic contexts. As well as examining the way in which racial and ethnic identities have been constructed across time and space, the module interrogates these constructions with specific reference to: the development of anthropology; slavery and colonialism; scientific racism; postcolonial political regimes; postcolonial feminism; conflict and genocide; identity-based mass violence; diaspora, transnationalism and the Black Atlantic; contemporary understandings of race and racism in its myriad forms; and multicultural lives and hybridity.
