    Description
    This introductory course critically examines the historical and contemporary experiences of Pacific Islanders, both at home in Oceania (Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia) and in the diaspora. The course emphasizes Pacific Islander perspectives, exploring the histories of Oceania and the effects of colonialism, imperialism, militarism, racism, capitalism and globalization on Pacific Island communities, cultures, migration, identity, and politics. The course is intended for all students interested in Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies and Ethnic Studies.
