HIST 318 - Asian American History


Since the nineteenth century, Asian immigrants have braved their way to America in search of better economic opportunity. Today Asian Americans belong to the fastest growing ethnic minority group in the United States, and they have been a dynamic part of American socioeconomic and political life. Yet very little is known about them and their history. Why and how did they come to America? What are their American experiences as workers, professionals, family members, and activists? How have issues of gender, race, and class affected their lives?
