PROMPt: Themes of oppression and resistance are present throughout American history. For this research paper, select a specific group that has experienced significant oppression in the United States. Then, analyze the forms of resistance they employed, examine the successes and failures of resistance, and explore what lasting impacts, both positive and negative, these struggles have had on American society.
Key Considerations for Students:
- Define Oppression: Students should clearly define what they consider to be oppression in the context of their chosen group. In other words, clearly define what kinds of oppression your chosen group faced and examine the consequences of that oppression.
- Analyze Forms of Resistance: This could include:
- Open Resistance: Protests, boycotts, civil disobedience.
- Covert Resistance: Underground movements, sabotage, cultural preservation.
- Legal and Political Resistance: Lobbying, litigation, political organizing.
- Cultural Resistance: Art, music, literature, religion.
- Evaluate Success: Students should assess the short-term and long-term impact of the resistance efforts. Were their goals achieved? What were the unintended consequences?
- Analyze Lasting Impacts: How has the history of oppression and resistance shaped American society today? What are the ongoing challenges and struggles?
