This course surveys major cases in American law that refer to race and racial categories. We will review the legal status of slaves and freedmen, Chinese immigrants and Native Americans, and white racial identity in legal definitions of American citizenship. We will also review major civil rights cases since World War II, as well as post-Civil Rights cases dealing with desegregation and affirmative action.
