美国的种族主义
Understanding the History of Slavery And Its Impact on 美国n 文化
美国的种族主义: How much do we really understand about the colonization of North 美国? 是什么驱使欧洲人来到北美? 早期的殖民者做了什么 希望从殖民中获益? 我们对奴隶制的结构到底了解多少 and the policies and laws established to keep this system in place? 通过 a historical lens, this seven part series will delve deep into why slavery came into 存在和奴隶制是如何建立的. 我们将分析种族主义的影响 “illuminate the efficient systems–both dejure and defacto–that were put in place” to control and “dehumanize African 美国ns,” a system of segregation and discrimination that is threaded deeply into our social system, which still permeates in our society 今天.

《种族的建构:奴隶制、法律与社会
由凯瑟琳·克里森博士介绍.D.维拉诺瓦大学历史学教授
Dr. Kerrison will explore the construction of race in English North 美国. 考试 of a series of laws passed by the Virginia House of Burgesses (the colonial assembly) traces the incremental and intentional steps of this process. 对于每一条法律，我们都提出要求 two main questions: What are its deeper implications and what did the legislators 坚持从中获益? 到最后 of the session, participants will understand why it is possible to have racist outcomes even without racist intentions. 也就是说，他们 will have seen the ways in which the law institutionalizes racist attitudes while it also promotes and legitimizes racist practices, in mutually reinforcing ways.
会议3
种族建构:肤色、条件与公民权
由凯瑟琳·克里森博士介绍.D.维拉诺瓦大学历史学教授
在接下来的会议中，Dr. 克里逊将从革命时代向我们展示如何 through the antebellum period, skin color became determinative of a person’s condition 自由的或被奴役的. This session traces how those formerly porous boundaries of condition become calcified, as whiteness became associated with freedom and blackness with enslavement. This racialized regime comes to define the limits of 公民hip as well, as white 美国ns become increasingly unable to imagine a republic composed of white and Black 公民. Defined out of 公民hip and relegated to menial labor by the Civil War, Black 美国ns will face an uphill climb even after the abolition of slavery in 1865.
