SOCY 42 Racism in Asian America
This course first considers the migration histories and racial experiences of Asian American groups in comparison to other groups. By highlighting the contexts of global and transnational migration, this course identifies the many ways in which Asian American groups have been both excluded and differentially included in politics and racial discourse—whether as colonial subjects, exploited labor, transnational immigrants, or diasporic groups. Next, the course considers a variety of contemporary experiences of Asian Americans, as they manifest in the media, food, gender, family, pop culture, transnational adoption, affirmative action, multiracial solidarities and more!
