The Collective “American” Experience

Contrast the collective “American” experience of 2 of the 6 ethnic groups covered in our textbook. Your comparison work might examine the social,
economic, and cultural conditions on contact, departure, or arrival, questions of “assimilation,” as well as the roles of stereotypes, discrimination,
institutionalized racism at the intersections of power, or other elements of our curriculum so far that you find particularly relevant for comparative analysis.
Use the essay to identify similar and divergent patterns in two ethnic groups’ experiences as racialized groups.
-Argue for political solidarity/unity between the two groups based on what you wrote (and other course sources if desired).
