美高人文歷史課

種族在美國 Race in America

課程介紹：

美高人文歷史課《種族在美國》旨在培養學生達到精英寄宿美高所要求的聽說讀寫能力及思辨能力。課程使用Toni Morrison的經典名著《Song of Solomon》作為折射美國種族問題的棱鏡，通過課堂討論與課下閱讀，學生們一方面可以熟悉作家的文學創作手法，增強閱讀能力，另一方面可以對美國歷史，特別是美國的奴隸制和種族問題的由來有進一步的了解，對十七世紀美國內戰有更清晰的認識，也對二十和二十一世紀如何戰勝系統性的種族主義和白人至上主義有更深入的思考。

Race in America is?a course designed to cultivate in students the reading, listening, speaking and writing skills needed to be successful at American boarding schools and in international universities. This course will use a core text—Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon—as a functional prism through which students will engage both American literature and history. Complementing Morrison’s novel, students will read and discuss historical primary sources which reveal the history of slavery and racism in America. Particular attention will be paid to the emergence of chattel slavery in the seventeenth century, as well as the American Civil War in the nineteenth century. Thereafter, we will grapple with systemic racism and white supremacy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
