At this point, we have had some in-depth conversations about Race, Racial Formations, Racialization, and Racism. So, I want you to take what you have learned thus far about these concepts/ideas and articulate them into an essay. For this assignment, you will write a  two-page double spaced paper  where you define these terms and demonstrate your comprehension of course materials by incorporating information we have covered thus far. In this paper you will write out your own definitions of: 

-Race  

-Racial Formations OR Racialization 

-Racism 

I want you to incorporate and cite course materials (ie readings and lecture notes) to develop a robust definition of these concepts in your essay. You will need to cite  AT LEAST one course reading and one lecture in your definition of these concepts. For example: 

I define Race as the social understanding of human difference based on phenotype. Race has often been based on skin color, which are white, black, yellow, red, and brown (Pérez). Race was born out of systems of slavery and conquest where those with power wanted to control or remove certain populations (Zinn). 

 

You will follow the above framework to define the three terms above. Thus, you will need to incorporate  SIX  total citations ( three from course readings and three from lecture notes) to complete this assignment and receive full credit.  

 

Formatting/requirements: 

1. 6 citations: 3 references from lecture notes/3 from course reading

2. intext citations should be formatted using MLA (Last Name) or (Last Name pg #)for direct quotes

3. definition of three terms above using your own words and course references

1. dedicate one paragraph toward defining each term

4. 500 word or two-page double spaced multi-paragraph essay

5. 12 point times new roman font

6. 1” margins
