This syllabus points to the active role that Asian Americans have always played in asserting their own unique and intersectional identities, resisting dominant narratives, and fighting for liberation and justice. The list of works below is in no way exhaustive, but it is designed to spark a more informed and sustained conversation about the experiences of Asian Americans that builds from all of the hard work that has come before.
