Major focus is placed on the lived experiences and histories of Southeast Asians, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Filipinos, as refugees, immigrants, and American citizens. Through the analysis of original source documents, art, music, literature and social structures, students examine race, ethnicity, white supremacy, nativism, immigration, gender, racism, and anti-Asian violence. An understanding of the human condition and agency is sought through the voices of Asians, and Asian Americans, who lived through pivotal historical moments. Using an interdisciplinary approach (social, historical, cultural, religious, geographic, economic, linguistic, literary and artistic), emphasis is placed on Asian Americans as agents in the creation of culture and communities in the United States. Special attention is given throughout the course to major Asian communities in the San Joaquin Valley--19th and early 20th century Chinese, Lao, Hmong, Mien, Lahu, Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Filipino.Usually HeldMon Wed 3:30pm–4:45pm, Tue Thu 1:00pm–2:15pm, Tue Thu 4:00pm–5:15pm, Mon Wed 2:00pm–3:15pm
