    Description
    54 hours lecture per term. This course is a survey of key events, institutions, individuals, and experiences that have shaped the cultures and histories of Asian Pacific Islander American communities in the United States focusing on the 19th and 20th centuries. Using intersectional analyses, students will examine historical themes and events that interrogate categories of identity and power, including race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, etc. Students will utilize theoretical frameworks to explore topics ranging from US imperialism, intervention, and foreign policy; Orientalism and anti-Asian racism; (im)migration, exclusion, and settlement patterns; labor and the economy; racialized sexuality and power, identity, community formation, political efficacy, and struggles for civil rights, social justice, and liberation. Various communities will be examined including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Native Hawaiian, Filipino, Samoan, South Asian, and Southeast Asian. (Degree Credit) (CSU) (UC) AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC
