This course examines the history of migration to colonial North America and the United States.

The development of ethnic and racial identities in the United States are linked to these immigration/migration patterns and to legal constructions conceived in immigration and naturalization law. Other themes include internal migration, the history of nativism up to present debates regarding “illegal immigration,” and the development of racial/ethnic communities.

Prerequisite: Upper division standing.
Offered: Not on a regular basis
