Diaspora and Transnationalism
AMST 212 SP

This seminar is a part of a four-year project supported by the Freeman Asian/Asian American Initiative grant to further develop the study of Asia and the Asian diaspora at Wesleyan University. This seminar will explore the inter-related themes of diaspora and transnationalism in the Asia Pacific. It is now clear that Asian migrants form diasporic networks and engage in transnational practices and relationships that may ebb and flow, but tend to persist over time and space. How migrants make their own transnational histories, and how historians construct diasporic narratives will be examined in depth through newly published case studies that represent the diversity of Asian experiences across the Americas and across the Pacific.
