Description:Where do Asian Americans belong? This course poses this question in stark terms to highlight how much of a problem it has been for Asian Americans and the U.S. The disparate routes by which Asian migrants came to the U.S. have shaped their histories, identities, and literatures, tying their stories here to a there overseas. Their places here have been ambivalent: embraced as model minorities but also excluded as racial others, foreigners, even potential traitors. Out of this history comes a literature that wrestles with the problem of place and setting. Through this literature, we'll examine how Asian Americans have imagined their horizons of belonging when their places in the nation and world are unclear. We'll consider how different episodes in Asian American history created cultural, emotional, and political investments in specific settings of identity and community. And we'll attend to the tensions among these scales. Our exploration will take us from familiar settings of Asian American literature-Chinatown, the island, the Asia-Pacific-to less familiar ones-regional America, the American hemisphere, the trans-Atlantic, and globalized utopias. As Asian American literature traverses these settings, it raises questions about where and why we draw the boundaries of community, identity, and political responsibility in an increasingly migrant world. Authors include Cathy Song, Frank Chin, Ruth Ozeki, Younghill Kang, and Karen Tei Yamashita. Satisfies the Twentieth Century and later requirement.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
