So far this semester we have studied the origins and reproduction of race as a material process; the origins and reproduction of race as a cultural/symbolic process; and the origins and reproduction of race as an ideological process. For your midterm essay, choose one (or more) of these processes (material, cultural, ideological) and discuss it (/them) in writing in detail. Your essay should 1) Define the process (processes) you are choosing to focus on (What does it mean to say that race is a material/cultural/ideological process?); 2) Discuss concrete examples from the readings that have helped you to understand this process (What readings deal with this concept? What concrete ways do they offer to understand this concept? In what ways do they compare/contrast/build on/contradict each other?); 3) Conclude your essay with an assessment of the process, grounded in your discussion of the material.Your midterm essay should include:A 1-2 paragraph definition of the term/terms you will be discussing.
