Lingua Asia: Decolonizing Heritage Language Education, Collin Absher
Lingua Asia: Decolonizing Heritage Language Education, Collin Absher
Undergraduate Honors Theses
The emergence of APIA programs within higher education has assisted in posing the question of what should be included in the K-12 history curriculum as it is lacking in Asian American history, African American history, and other marginalized groups’ history and information. In tandem, heritage learning Mandarin classes, while they do attempt to bring the students' writing and reading levels up to their speaking levels, instead focus solely on Chinese history, culture, identity, and societal problems. This is valuable; however, what of the Chinese American identity? There has been a surplus of over 200 years of Chinese American history within …
Meeting The Lumpia Filipino: Self-Orientalism In Filipino America, Jamelah Jacob
Meeting The Lumpia Filipino: Self-Orientalism In Filipino America, Jamelah Jacob
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Due to the persisting legacies of U.S. colonization, the Filipino American identity is shaped not only by migration but forces of neocolonialism that is felt generationally. Asian American scholarship largely conceptualizes the Filipino American identity as merely reactive to historical factors, however the colonial project continues to influence and define the agency of Filipino Americans and affects the way they present their culture in transnational spaces.

To analyze this, I turn to Filipino student organizations to look at the ways Filipino Americans have …

Southern Orientation: Reimagining Asian American Identity And Place In The Global South, Frank Sung Cha
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Asians have been part of the American South's physical, cultural, and economic landscape since Reconstruction when plantation owners introduced Chinese immigrants to replace newly freed African Americans as their primary labor source. Nearly a century later, sweeping immigration reform led to the influx of thousands of Asian immigrants who transformed the region's social, economic, and physical landscapes. Southern Orientation: Reimagining Asian American Identity and Place in the Global South utilizes twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature, film, and oral histories to investigate how the socio-spatial practices of Asians produce new iterations of place-bound identities that unsettle traditional notions of southern community. Drawing …
