RELG 056. Afro-Asian Solidarities in the Americas

and Asian communities in the Americas, highlighting moments of

solidarity and unity and areas of divergence and conflict. Moving

from slavery to indentureship to U.S. immigration, particularly post

1960s, students will examine the rhetoric of the “yellow peril,” the

myth of the model minority, the rise of Black Power movements,

orientalist stereotypes, and anti-blackness within the Asian (inclusive

of South Asian and Indo-Caribbean) community.
