We will analyze scholarly, literary, and visual resources to understand how the interdisciplinary field of Asian American Studies confronts issues such as immigration, racialization, racism, exclusion, political and social activism, assimilation, and community-building. The term "Asian American" can often be misleading, inclusive, exclusive, and overwhelmingly broad. Because of this, the course pays particular attention to personal narratives as we explore questions of race, class, war, imperialism, gender, sexuality, culture, memory, and agency. This course may be offered in a distance education format. (CSU/UC transferable)Usually HeldMon Wed 2:00pm–3:15pm, Mon Wed 9:30am–10:45am
