ASAM 30

About this course

This introduction to Ethnic Studies will survey race and racialization, ethnicity, White supremacy, settler colonialism, and imperialism as they are relevant to Filipinx American communities. Through an Ethnic Studies framework of decolonization that emphasizes community-produced theory and knowledge, students will compare Filipinx American and Asian American experiences. Emphasis will be placed on the role of cultural expression in movements seeking social justice, liberation, self-determination, and sovereignty for Asian American and Filipinx American communities.

No section is scheduled at De Anza College for Fall 2026. The course can still be offered in a later quarter.
