Albeit the fastest growing ethnic group in the US, Asian Americans and their impact on contemporary America are often neglected in the US culture classroom. In this course, we will discover personal stories behind the Chinese Exclusion Act, the incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII, Southeast Asian refugees after the Vietnam War, and other historic events. We will also discuss (their impact on) contemporary issues such as the "model minority myth", anti-Asian racism, and Asian American arts, and how current developments in Asian countries affect Asian Americans across the nation.
This seminar will take place as online-seminar!
