Focus on weeks 6, 7, and 9 lectures, on Nagel’s “The Politics of Ethnic Authenticity:

Building Native American Identities and Communities,” on Rodriquez’s “Color-Blind

Ideology and the Cultural Appropriation of Hip-Hop,” on “What Does ‘Cultural

Appropriation” Actually Mean?”

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/04/cultural-appropriation/521634/,

and on the videos “What is cultural appropriation” and “Cultural appropriation –

ContraPoints” (see modules in Canvas). Provide an analysis linking color-blind ideology,

identity politics, politics of identity, and cultural appropriation. How color-blind ideology

facilitates identity politics and cultural appropriation? How can politics of identity fight

color-blind ideology and cultural appropriation? How would you resolve this problem?
