Study of Racism and Inequality in A Level History
Welcome to A Level History at
The Ripley Academy
One key theme of A Level is
racism
What do we mean by the term ‘racism’?
The belief that all members of each race possess
characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to
that race, especially so as to distinguish it as
inferior or superior to another race or races.
A Level History – two units of study
In Search of the American Dream
The USA 1917-96
India c1914-47
The Road to Independence
Inequality in how black, Hispanic
and Native Americans were treated
Inequality of Indians ruled by the
British with no say in government
Your task
You have been allocated
one
source that highlights racism and inequality in
either the USA or India
In pairs, talk through the ‘discussion points’ about the source – be prepared
to feedback to the group
What conclusions can we make?
Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant s*** to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother f***** him and John Wayne
Cause I'm black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
‘Fight the power’ by Public Enemy (1989)
What conclusions can we make?
Take up the White Man’s burden,
Send forth the best ye breed,
Go, blind your sons to exile,
To serve your captives’ need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild,
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.

India 1914-47: The Road to Independence
Students will study the role of India as ‘the

Britain. The role of India in both world wars is
examined, along with rising nationalism and
British attempts to grant reform to India.
Finally, students will examine why Britain
partitioned India in 1947.
Unit 3

Another broad time period in which students
will study the British role in the French Wars,
the Crimean War, the Boer War and the First

warfare at home.
Unit 4
Hitler and the Nazi State (coursework)
After studying a brief overview of Hitler’s rise
to power and establishment of a dictatorship
in Germany, students will research historians’
interpretations about Hitler’s role in the Nazi
State; a strong or weak dictator? They will
write a coursework essay of 4000 words.
