An enormous literature has grown up around the notorious men (and women) of the West.  Some is highly fictionalized, most is either adulatory or part of a subgenre of hostile debunking.  Yet out of this discourse emerges Herda’s book, which is interesting as he admittedly notes that he is “pleased to present my biography of Doctor John H. Holliday to the world in order to set the record straight.  In his very own words.”  Based on your reading of Herda’s book, they call me DOC The Story Behind The Legend Of John Henry Holliday and the film Tombstone, respond to the following question: Who exactly is Doc Holliday? Your essay should be comprised of 6-8 typewritten pages, double-spaced, #12 font only (a size similar to Times New Roman as a larger font will result in the loss of points – as well for a wider margin).  I would advise that you use spelling & grammar in MSWord (or similar) and avoid the passive voice.  Both the book and film need to be cited in the style of your choice; you must do either footnotes or in-text citations – i.e. (Shi, pg. 21) giving credit to quotes AND to an author’s thoughts as well.  You will need to include a work’s cited (bibliography).  Note: a work’s cited is not part of your page count.  Please do not plagiarize.    

In the Editor’s Introduction to Section One:  Theorizing Race, Racism, and Race Inequalities (textbook), we are introduced to the concept of color-blind racism which, based in the work of Bonilla-Silva (2013), is defined as “a racial ideology that explains contemporary racial inequality as the outcome of nonracial dynamics…” (Golash-Boza 2016:45). Thus, rather than linking racist ideology to structural and individual racism, we cite other causes such as, economic factors, or differences in behavior or culture. Bonilla-Silva (2013) uses several frameworks to illustrate how color-blind racism works: (1) abstract liberalism, (2) naturalization, (3) minimization of racism, and (4) cultural racism. Discuss one of these strategies in a well-developed initial post. Your initial post should include a definition of your selected strategy, and your original thoughts, and ideas on how this strategy contributes to color-blind racism. Make sure that you offer a critical analysis. Integrate the text and/or supplementary scholarly material into your initial post. If you choose to use personal experience, make sure that these experiences fit into the larger scheme of structural racism and/or individual racism. Bonilla-Silva, Eduardo. 2013.
