Course Title	Asian/Pacific/American Hist.
Department	American Studies
Campus	Mount Holyoke College
Course Description	'This course situates Asian/Pacific/American experiences within the context of American history, as well as that of their countries of origin. First we will look at the pre-World War II era, exploring relationships between the U.S. quest for empire in the Pacific, political-economic dislocations in Asian countries, and anti-Asian prejudice against migrants in the U.S. Next we will examine the period after World War II, especially Japanese American internment; post-1965 immigration; war in Southeast Asia; the rise of postcolonial and new nations in Asia; and contemporary issues facing the A/P/A community in the U.S. Major themes include migration, racism, gender, and colonialism.'
