| ENG 5206 – TRANSNATIONALISM AND ASIAN AMERICAN LITERATURE
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Asian America was constructed by U.S. immigration
policies via exclusion acts and quotas. In the 21st century Asian America is located within
complex spaces characterised by geographical and cultural border crossings. Interactions
between the U.S. nation state and Asia are transformed by globalisation and the rise of Asia.
This module will explore the reconceptualisation of Asian America from the perspective of
transnationalism through a selection of literary texts. Topics may include immigration and
settlement patterns, nation/nation building, transnationalism, transculturalism, boundaries,
border-crossing. |
