Paper 1 Assignment Sheet
In the first unit of the course, we have spent considerable time understanding what White supremacy is, why it created the category of race, the development of Latinidad as an ethnoracial category, the shifting mechanics of White supremacy under changing demographics, development of Latinx/Hispanic identity, and finally the ways Latinx people have participated in anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism. Based on the information provided to you in lecture, through the assigned readings, and by your own independent research, you must write a five-page essay responding to one of the following prompts. You are asked to demonstrate, through the writing of this essay, your understanding of the concepts and information from lecture and assigned readings, your ability to use and apply these ideas and information to analyze an issue and form an argument and present it, and where necessary, search for necessary additional information not provided to you in lecture or the readings to develop an answer to your chosen prompt.
1. Using the concepts of racial project, racialization, ethnorace, and racial formation, explain thedevelopment of Latinidad under White supremacy. As a system, why did White supremacy need to represent Latin America and its people as non-White? Why was Latinidad created as a pan-ethnic ethnoracial category; what purpose does it serve under White supremacy? How doesWhite supremacy, as a system of domination, position Latinxs in relationship to other ethnoracialgroups?
Although you will use these questions and answer them in your essay, it is critically important that your paper include an appropriate thesis statement and transition sentences that link each paragraph. You should not write paragraph responses to each of the questions and just stick them together. Remember, your thesis statement is a sentence at the beginning of your essay (though not necessarily the first sentence) that answers the main question in a short, concise, and argumentative way; that is, your thesis takes a position/makes a claim you will explore throughout. The prompts cover three themes, depending on which prompt you choose you will be making an argument about White supremacy and the development of ethnoracial categories, the development and conflict over Latinx identity, or internalized racism and Latinx people and communities. Make sure you don’t lose sight of the fact that your essay must provide a cohesive response that has a central argument and is then supported by your subpoints and demonstrated evidence.
The basic requirements for the essay are as follows:
• Citations, both in-text and in the works cited list at the end of your essay, need to follow APA
