This class explores the increasingly controversial status of Asian
America as a legitimate political and social category. Beginning
with an examination of the origin and history of the term Asian
America, the course focuses in particular on who establishes and
maintains this category, who belongs in it, and how its many and
varied constituents navigate ethnic, linguistic, regional, and
racial differences.
