Course Catalog Description
This course offers a critical sociological examination of what it means to be a 1.5 and second-generation Asian American today. Since the liberalization of immigration policy in 1965, immigrants and their children are becoming an increasing and emergent demographic of American society. In major American cities they comprise over 50% of the population. How does the second-generation Asian American experience compare to other racial groups? How is the second-generation changing the United States’ racial and ethnic structure? How is the second generation becoming American? We will explore these questions through second-generation Asian American experiences of race and ethnicity, religion, family, education, dating, and mental health.
