(ASIA 069) Pacific Crossings: An Asian American History

4 Credits

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI), as immigrants, sojourners, settlers, refugees, and members of overthrown sovereign kingdoms, have played key roles in shaping American law, politics, and culture while navigating familial and cultural ties that cross the Pacific. Yet, AAPI have often been left out of American histories and forgotten. Through field trips and experiential learning, this course will explore and restore Asian American history to its rightful place as an essential part of the American experience.
