For Teachers: A Brief Introduction to Asian American History In 1587 the Spanish galleon Nuestra Senora de Esperanza gum san ) to escape the hardships in their home country and take advantage of the potential wealth found in a land where the streets were rumored to be paved with gold, the more accurate explanation of the origins of Chinese immigration is mutual economic need between two countries. Even birth on American soil did not guarantee U.S. citizenship, although the Fourteenth Amendment asserted that right. Not until 1898, when Wong Kim Ark challenged the Supreme Court, did American-born Asians irrefutably earn the right to citizenship. U.S. vs. Bhagat Singh Thind decision officially barred Asian Indians, as well, from citizenship. By 1924, the National Origins Act effectively ended all Asian immigration, except from the Philippines, which was by then a U.S. territory. But that, too, came to a virtual end with the 1934 Tydings-McDuffie Act, which promised independence in 10 years but limited Filipino immigration to a mere 50 individuals a year. Less than 10 years later, on February 19, 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, sending 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent into concentration camps for the duration of World War II. Ironically, the 442d Regimental Combat Team, made up of second-generation Japanese Americans and led by a Korean American, Colonel Young Oak Kim, became the most decorated military unit for its size and length of service in U.S. history.

ISBN: Additional Details Yet many standard history books fail to fully capture the contributions and experiences of Asian Americans, and too many of us know little more about these people and their customs than Bruce Lee movies and take-out Chinese food. For example, you may not know that tennis star Michael Chang is the youngest player to ever win a U.S. Open match. Or that traditionally the hula is a religious dance performed in remembrance of Hawaiian gods. Or that ginseng, a popular herbal remedy, was first grown in the forests of Korea. In a lively question-and-answer format, this informative guide chronicles all the important dates and figures in Asian-American history, and also provides a complete understanding of the traditions and ideas that people of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Indian, and Pacific Island descent have brought to bear on American life.

For four centuries (1600s-2000s), Asians have pursued their dreams in the Americas . In this class, we will examine scholars' arguments about the impact of Asian American experiences, assess first hand evidence, and draw our own conclusions. On a popular level, history matters because it can be viewed as a people's collective memory, an expression of what Americans believe to be important to remember and what can be forgotten. We will explore how Asian Americans have viewed their own experiences and analyze what they can tell us about American society. COURSE DESCRIPTION We will focus on the personal voices of Asian Americans as means of understanding how individuals made choices and interpreted their situations. Through personal stories, we will explore the meanings of Asian American experiences, mapping their influence within main currents in American and global history. The course will make extensive use of sources such as personal memoirs, fiction, films. We will also read writings by scholars in Asian American Studies who seek to map out the place of Asians within US, North American and Latin American history. Our main focus will be the U.S. from colonial times to present, though we will explore linkages with Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia.
