HS 230 WE THE PEOPLE: IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP IN U.S. HISTORY


Min Units 3 Max Units 3
Immigrants have shaped and defined the United States yet this legacy is often contested as different generations argue about what it means to be “American.” This course traces the history of immigration and the changing definitions of citizenship from the colonial era to the present. It begins with the first European contact and settlement in the Americas, follows the three great immigration waves of the 19th and 20th century, and explores how social, cultural, and political forces have influenced the continual evolution of the citizenship process. 3 CRNCR Y SOCSCI Prerequisite: Successful completion of EN101
