We will analyze the transformation of the Asian American immigrant identities from "yellow peril" to "model minority status". We will look at the raced representations of Asian Americans and Asians across visual media. We will explore the politics around Asian American stereotypes and connect them with the ongoing debate around Asian American immigrants and Asian American immigration to the US. By the end of the course, you will be able to contextualize the Asian American experience in the contemporary contexts of US race relations.
