About this course
This course explores the historical and contemporary complexities of Asian American identity and community formation. Using interdisciplinary and comparative ethnographic approaches, students will investigate the struggles and triumphs of Asian Americans in overcoming obstacles in their pursuit of full citizenship and citizen?s rights in light of U.S. immigration and public policies, political and cultural discourses, and day-to-day lived experiences. Students will analyze the interconnections between categories such as race and ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and language. The goal of this course is to equip students with conceptual tools for critically thinking about the ever-shifting terrain of Asian American identity in the wider contexts of Orientalism, U.S. imperialism and nationalism, racialization and racism, economic restructuring, globalization and transnationalism, and other social processes and transformations. Students will explore how cross-racial intersections and coalition building have been accomplished in the post-civil rights era and can be accomplished in current struggles towards social justice.
