ETHN 143 - Social/Cultural Hist Asian Am

Institution:

Santa Clara University

Subject:

Ethnic Studies

Description:

This course introduces some of the major themes in Asian American history. This exploration into Asian American history reveals as much about American society, politics, and culture as it does about Asian Americans themselves. Throughout the quarter, we will examine an array of interrelated themes and topics including transnationalism, immigration law, citizenship, miscegenation, imperialism, popular culture, and racism. Nevertheless, there are three narratives that we will emphasize: 1) examining the struggles over the cultural, political, and economic meanings of race, ethnicity, and gender, 2) tracing how major economic transitions impacted and transformed Asian American lives, 3) exploring the expansion and deployment of American power at home and abroad and its relationship to Asian America.
