TO START

Please read Chapter 7 of Asian America, on Citizenship. This chapter will introduce you to the different ways citizenship can be defined, and how its various layers are claimed by Asian Americans.

THEN

You will listen to a “Self Evident” podcast episode and learn how different statuses such as “refugee” and “undocumented” materially impact (and divide) Asian American communities. Even families. You will find that there are cultural, political, and class elements always at play.

FINALLY

You will watch a video conference between Asian American leaders about citizenship and belonging (in the form of racism and discrimination). It is important to hear the roundtable of various perspectives from within Asian American communities and from people who are doing the often unrecognized work of advocating and organizing.
