Asian Pacific America has been formed, informed, shaped and transformed by immigration and refugee policies from the first Asians to arrive in Hawai'i and California in the early 1800s to the most recent arrivals today in 2017.
Professor Sucheng Chan at UC-Santa Barbara has argued that Asian Pacific Islander Americans have been the most legally discriminated against group in U.S. history. Do you agree or disagree?
If you agree with this assertion, what evidence is there of this claim? If you disagree with Professor Chan's claim, discuss how discriminatory immigration policies and legislation have shaped Asian Pacific America (including citizenship, nationality, ethnicity, race, and identity of APAs.)
Discuss the impact of the Naturalization Act of 1790, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, the 1907 Gentleman's Agreement, Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, the 1952 McCarren-Walters' Act, the 1924 and the 1965 immigration Acts on how Asian Pacific Islander Americans have been structurally excluded and/or incorporated into American society.
How have these legislative policies informed APA identities?their citizenship? their "American-ness?"
How have these laws contributed to the "abbreviated," "truncated" and "disjointed" development of APA communities in the U.S.?
