-'''Ethnic studies''', in the United States, is the [[interdisciplinary]] study of difference—chiefly race, ethnicity, and nation, but also sexuality, gender, and other such markings—and power, as expressed by the state, by civil society, and by individuals.+

-An academic field that spans the humanities and the social sciences, it emerged as an academic field in the second half of the 20th century partly in response to charges that traditional disciplines such as [[anthropology]], [[history]], [[literature]], [[sociology]], [[political science]], [[cultural studies]], and [[area studies]] were conceived from an inherently [[Eurocentric]] perspective. Its origin, then, lies in the civil rights era, when ethnic studies was originally conceived to re-frame the way that specific disciplines had told the stories, histories, struggles and triumphs of people of color on what was seen to be their own terms. In more recent years, it has broadened its focus to include questions of representation, [[racialization]], [[racial formation theory]], and more determinedly interdisciplinary topics and approaches.+
