    Description
    An exploration of Asian American history from the 18th century to WWII. A comparative analysis of issues and perspectives by first wave immigrants from China, Japan, Korea, India, the Philippines with emphasis on colonialism, imperialism, war, Orientalism, discrimination, social inequity, immigration and settlement patterns, labor, community, and political resistance. This course will ask students to challenge the traditional “master” narrative of U.S. history and encourage them to examine how Asian American history transforms U.S. history. This course includes analysis of the U. S. Constitution, Supreme Court Rulings, and California State and local government issues related to the rights of Asian Americans. (CSU, UC)
