HIST 1305 Cowboys & Indians
This course explores the origins of race and race relations through time and around the globe, with an emphasis on colonialism, and examines how these conceptions have been represented in popular culture. In other words, how do diverse peoples "get along" and how do they represent or interpret their relationships to explain or justify their actions? Particular attention is given to the catalytic roles played by hundreds of Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone actors in the development of Hollywood's western film industry, many of which will be viewed in class.
