ANTH 216 - The Latinos of Asia


Using an anthropological lens, this course examines how Filipino-Americans are considered the “Latinos of Asia” and how they impact their local and global locales. This course sheds light on the experiences of Filipino-Americans in California and the U.S. from an anthropological perspective. Chronicling the first arrivals of Filipinos in California and the U.S. to present-day, we will touch upon topics of colonialism, migration, labor and race movements, belief systems, gender and hyphenated identities, as well as what it means to be a “model minority.”
