GEOG 233 - Urban Geography:Race And Place

Credits: 4

Urban America has evolved within the context of European influences and unique processes related to American geography, technology and institutions-economic, political, legal and social. These forces, combined with America’s racial/ethnic populations, have produced unique American urban landscapes and racial problems in various periods of American history, as well as in the contemporary urban scene. This course examines specific technology and institutions that played pivotal roles in the evolution of American racial geography. Hispanic American, African American, Asian American and European American cultures are examined.
