ANTH 366 Identity & Community in America
What does "American" mean for the lives of people in the US, what makes these meanings "American", and how do Americans use these meanings? The course examines how meanings are organized in myths, rituals, and public discourses; settings where meanings are used, contested, and negotiated in new social movements, Congress and courts, communities, ethnicity and race, families and kinship, violence and its aftermath, and the media.
