Write an essay 3-4 pages in length responding to one of the prompts below. Since this assignment asks you to analyze Paul Ortizs An African American and Latinx History of the United States, all of your evidence should be drawn from that book. You should not do any outside research for this assignment. Prompt: Your essay must respond to one and only one of the following questions. You need to use specific evidence, properly cited, drawn from Ortizs book to support your argument. These questions are intentionally broad so as to give you the maximum amount of leeway possible in both analyzing and evaluating Ortizs book, but your argument must incorporate Ortizs insights and your claims must be supported by examples drawn from Ortizs work. 1. Why has the United States generally rejected or distanced itself from other revolutionary movements in North American, South America, and the Caribbean? 2. Why were African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinx peoples able to form effective multinational/multiracial movements from 1776 until the present day? 3. Paul Ortiz posits a link between economic inequality and racial inequality in the United States. Why have those two forms of inequality generally gone together throughout the history of the United States of America? 4. Why did the United States maintain race slavery even as other post-revolutionary governments rejected slavery? 5. Why, according to Ortiz, are the countries of the Global South (Latin America and the Caribbean) the bastions of liberation ideologies? Essay Format This essay must conform to the following guidelines: Use 12-Point Times New Roman Font. Be Double-Spaced. Have 1 margins on all sides (this is not a default setting in all word processors). Include proper citations for all material (quotes and paraphrases) drawn directly from the article. o If you are using just one source, you can just include the page number in parentheses. Example: Ronald Takaki claims that Indians came to personify the devil and everything the Puritans feared (43). If you are using multiple sources you must include the relevant authors last name. Example: Ronald Takaki claims that Indians came to personify the devil and everything the Puritans feared (Takaki, 43).
