Full course description
Description
Fear, hatred, and racism toward the Chinese and Japanese began in the mid 1800's, culminating with the incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese at the beginning of WWII, two-thirds of whom were US citizens. From the perspective of a third generation Japanese-American (Sansei), we will discuss how, when and why racism landed Americans in what is more accurately described as prison camps, and what we can do to countermand the effect of anti-Asian violence and racism in America today.
