Instructions: <\/strong>Formulate a clear analytical thesis that responds to the
\nquestion posed above. Make sure you have sufficient evidence from the primary
\nsources you select to back up your argument and begin my explaining WHAT<\/strong> form
\nof social identity your paper will explore and specifies the types of
\nhistorical changes it will examine. You may use secondary sources to contextualize
\nyour claims, but the bulk of your citations should be for primary sources. Try
\nto use only class texts to do this assignment.<\/p>\n

Format<\/strong><\/p>\n

Papers will be short 5 page papers, double spaced, one inch
\nmargins. You may use parenthetical citation in these shorter papers: for
\nexample (Sarkar 24).<\/p>\n

Make sure that
\nthese short papers are analytical and express your own views, rather than
\nsummarizing the original text, or offer weak personal reactions not backed up
\nby evidence from the text. In other words, I am asking for an informed analysis
\nof the readings, not descriptive summaries or emotional reactions. Even if you
\nagree 100% with an author, you need to explain why that argument is
\nwell-structured, or convincing, or provide the historical\/social context for
\nit. In the case of primary documents
\nmake sure that you contextualize that document historically.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
