You must use Takaki to answer this question but you are welcome to refer to documents we’ve read if it makes sense. Do not use outside sources. (50 points) You may answer a fifth for up to 5 points extra credit.It has been suggested in this class, by me as well as by your textbook, that the category of “race” is not an immutable physical construct but rather a relatively modern social contract that has evolved over the course of the last half-millennium according to historical developments. What historical factors led to the emergence of the “racial hierarchy” and a “caste labor system” in the British colonies and later United States. Please make sure you use examples from Takaki or by referring to documents we’ve read. (Note that Takaki does not use to term “caste labor system” to refer solely to slavery but also when discussing “vaqueros,” Chinese and all “Calibans of color.”)Image: Johann Heinrich Ramberg, Stephano, Trinculo, and Caliban (left) Dancing from the Tempest (ca. 1810)How does Takaki utilize the terms “civilization” and “savagery” to tell the story of American history from “a different mirror?” Note that he presents these terms as “mirror images” of each other and the definition of one says a lot about the fear and self-identification of the other. Please make sure you present Takaki’s definition of these two terms in your response (that is what are the characteristics of civilization and what are the characteristics of savagery) and give at least TWO examples of groups branded as “savage.” Image: "Wild" Bill Cody (Buffalo Bill) and Sitting Bull, 1885.

Local Cultural Geography PaperWrite a "research" paper dealing with some topical (current) aspect of the cultural geography of Minnesota or the British Isles not covered in class (i.e. not Mall of America or Belfast murals). You will need to consult relevant sources including local newspapers, magazines, websites and connect the infomation found in those sources to theoretical approaches discussed in class and/or in the readings. You might write about an issue or topic concerning landscape, popular culture, class, gender, sexuality, homeplace, globalization, but you must write about it/them in the context of a specific local place. You may address topics with a broad regional scope but be sure through your analysis to justify how and why your topic is a state-wide one (perhaps related to regional/state tourism or cultural initiatives carried out at the state or local level by government). Don't succumb to overgeneralization.Your paper must contain at least 5 sources, at least 3 of which should be scholarly articles or books in cultural geography.general guidelines Paper should be at least 3 pages in length (but absolutely no more than 5), excluding p hotographs, maps, diagrams, field-sketches, tables, graphs and satellite images (which should include captions).
