L98 AMCS 301TTopics in AMCS: Indigenous America and Carceral Empire3.0 Units
Description:Mass incarceration is a catastrophe in the United States, especially affecting Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and poor communities. Different forms of carceral confinements have long been an integral part of the formation of the United States and other settler colonies in the Americas. In this course, we will focus on the history of Indigenous confinements. While the incarceration of Indigenous peoples today resembles the incarceration of other minoritized peoples, it has both similar and distinct historical genealogies that can be traced to coercive practices designed to exploit their labor and eliminate lifeways, knowledge systems, tribal identification, and relationships with homelands. From the enslavement of Taíno people in the fifteenth century, to the formation of reservations and reserves in the United States and Canada in the nineteenth century, to the high rates of Indigenous incarceration today, we will draw on the works of artists, Indigenous intellectuals, literary scholars, historians, anthropologists, political scientists, and critical theorists alongside historical documents to study the relationship between Indigenous confinements and the formation of settler-imperial states. We will consider the development of carceral technologies, the embodied experience of being confined, and the different ways Indigenous communities have resisted and survived carceral empires.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
