Title: Citizens and Aliens
Course Section Number: HIS-200-01
Department: History
Description: Cross List: HIS-200= PSC-210-02. In this course, we will examine, discuss, and analyze American immigration policy, and the twin concepts it created: the citizen and the alien. We will start our inquiry in the mid-nineteenth century by tracing how ideas about immigration developed from state laws into federal statutes. We will examine the establishment, expansion, and contraction of federal legislation through the twentieth century, and will conclude by looking at the Immigration Record and Control Act of 1986, the most recent comprehensive immigration reform enacted in the United States. Through our primary and secondary readings, we will consider the political, economic, and racial dimensions of migration and how they have created enduring legacies that continue to inform American immigration policy to this day. This course will satisfy the Diversity Requirement for the PPE major.
