ASAM 11
Asian Americans and Racism
Course Description
This ethnic studies course focuses on the status and experiences of Asian Americans in U.S. history and in contemporary times to analyze the concept of race, processes of racialization, theories of racism, forms of racial subordination, and the practices of anti-racism. Using a framework of racial relationality, the course explores the dynamics of anti-blackness and white dominance in the imaginative and institutional formations of Asian America. Key themes include labor and global capitalism, Orientalism and imperialism, immigration and exclusion, gender and sexuality, citizenship and nation, "good"/"bad" minorities, and assimilationist thinking.
