Once you have selected the article that you want to explore further, use material from at least 1 lecture and at least 2 course readings that we have studied in this unit to put the article in historical context. The essay should therefore contain:
• An introduction that lays out the topic that you are going to explore, gives a roadmap of the essay, and ends with a thesis (try to use one of the Thesis Statement Formulas) that states what context (historical events/ideas) the article reveals.
• A paragraph summary of the article itself. You may want to look at "How to Evaluate a Primary Source" (Course Reader, p. 400) to refresh your memory with how to look at primary sources.
• Body paragraphs that take specific parts of the article, and then put it into historical context, using material from at least 1 lecture and at least 2 course readings (the course readings include the BBC Racism videos).
• A conclusion that states what we learn when we put the document into historical context. You should consider questions such as: what does it show about the author of the article (or the situation)? How does that relate to racism today? What does this tell us about racism as a system?
