    This course surveys fiction, drama, poetry, memoirs, and creative nonfiction written by Asian Americans. It focuses on works written by Americans of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Hmong, Korean, and Vietnamese descent but also includes the work of other Pan-Asian American writers.

Optional field trips may be included.
