SOCI 215 - Race, Immigration, and the Asian American Experience

FC SSCI CD

4 credits
How do race and culture define who belongs to the nation? For instance, how can ethnic minorities at times be ‘out whiting whites but still be denied full citizenship? We answer these questions by examining Asian Americans efforts for belonging and social justice. Topics include generational change, the war on terror, media, trans-nationalism, multi-racials, pan ethnicity, identity, and much more, and will be addressed from an intersectional approach. Readings come from many disciplines, with stress on sociology.
Prerequisites & Notes: One course in sociology.
