WGS 115 - Introduction to Asian American Studies: War, Empire, and Migration
Description
This course will provide a multidisciplinary approach to Asian American studies. By examining literature, historical/sociological scholarship, films, and music, we will explore both dominant and lesser-known narratives representing Asian American refugees, mixed-race communities, and colonial diasporas. The interlinking themes of empire, colonial conquest, militarization, transnational labor, state-sanctioned violence, urbanization, and race and gender relations will emerge from studying Filipino and Japanese pidgin-speakers from the plantations of Hawai`i, Vietnamese American refugees, and Asian American anti-war radicals in the streets of San Francisco. Same as AMS 115 .
