Ta-Nehisi Coates says in a letter to his son that “white America’s progress . . . was built on looting and violence,” and when asked why he believes this, he says, “The answer is American history” (6).
Incorporating as support the YouTube video and articles I supplied you (Week 3 module Supplemental Sources for the Midterm) analyze the effects of past trauma on people of color through a discussion of What You Pawn I Will Redeem and Between the World and Me. To further strengthen your analysis and support, and to further illustrate the connection between the past and the present, you may also incorporate your knowledge of American history, the psychology of trauma, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, current political and social events, and/or any other knowledge you feel is relevant.
- You must incorporate textual support from “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” and Between the World and Me. That means you are including and analyzing specific passages from those pieces
- You must incorporate the video on forced removal of Native American children, the article on the Trail of Tears, and the article on slavery and the cotton trade.
- You must give credit to your sources (the articles and video I supplied, history class, newspaper article, Ruggiero, psychology class, etc) as best you can. DO NOT make stuff up. If you remember something from your criminal justice class, for example, but you’re unsure of the specifics, LOOK IT UP. You have time to do a Google search to verify your memory. And remember that paraphrased material must be cited as well. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS IN YOUR OWN WORDS DOESNT MEAN IT WAS YOUR OWN IDEA. CITE YOUR SOURCES.
- You must discuss both cause (white America’s progress as built on looting and violence) and effect (the outcomes, the results — for people of color and indigenous people — of the looting and violence).
- For a well-developed exploration, this essay should be 5-7 pages.
