Readings will include oral histories, novels, and contemporary historical and sociological studies of the Asian-American experience. Format: discussion. Evaluation will be based on class participation, two short papers (5-7 pages) and a personal or family immigration history (15 pages). Enrollment limit: 30 (expected: 15). Open to all. Group A
