Course Catalog Description:
Interdisciplinary overview of Asian American identities. Post-1965 migration/community. History, cultural productions, and concerns of Americans of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, South Asian, Filipino, and Southeast Asian ancestry.
Class Description:
Where are Asian Americans located locally, regionally, nationally, and globally? Does geographic location make a difference in how Asian Americans understand and experience their identities and communities? How do different places and the politics in these places (for example, Asia, U.S. west coast, U.S. Midwest, New York, Hawaii, Caribbean) affect Asian/Asian American experiences, identities and communities? This course focuses on different sites in Asian America to better understand the complexity, beauty, and problems of Asian America. Key questions for the course include: How do Asians/Asian Americans in diverse geographic locations experience, historicize, politicize, visualize, and/or imagine themselves and their communities in the context of the U.S., Asian America, and beyond? Who, what, where, when, and how is Asian America? What are the cultural politics of space, place, and movement in Asian America? How do these issues play out in Minnesota/Twin Cities? Participants in this course will seriously explore and engage these questions and themes by reading theory, literature, film, and art and working on a group research project about an Asian American space, place, or movement in the Twin Cities.
