This course provides an introduction to the historical formation of Asian America as well as contemporary issues faced by the highly diverse communities that comprise it. As demanded by the interdisciplinary nature of the field of Asian American Studies, this course relies on a range of historical, literary, ethnographic, and visual texts and makes comparisons with other racialized groups in the United States. Topics include issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality, immigration, migration, citizenship, labor, racialization, exclusion, political activism and social movements, family, community-building, war, imperialism, sovereignty, colonialism, transnationalism, culture, and creative expressions.
