EGST 0356 - Activism in Asian American Communities


Credits: 3

Examines the rise of activism in Asian American communities from the Yellow Power Movement of the 1960s to the present, with the impact of globalization and the “war on terrorism.” Students will learn about the problems these myriad Asian communities have faced and continue to face as we move into the 21st century. They will also learn what the different groups from Asia have in common and how they differ from each other, and the ways in which they have come together for political empowerment.

Prerequisites: EGST 0201  or EGST 0202 .
