This course will explore how a variety of Asian American communities create social and cultural spaces (and places) out of specific locations. We will look at how Asian Americans create blogosphere communities in the digitized world as well as earlier efforts to make “Chinatowns” in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.  We will examine Hmong American space making in Minnesota and Wisconsin as well as South Asians making new neighborhoods in Midwestern cities.  The class will use a variety of sources: readings, mappings, documentary films, and Hollywood features (and maybe a trip or two to such spaces/places.)
