授業の概要 This course will examine human rights issues related to the experiences of Japanese Americans in the last century, and use these to broaden awareness of other people struggling with similar issues concerning immigration, racism, the loss of civil liberties, or the attempt to seek apology and redress for past wrongs done to them. We will read and watch accounts of Japanese American struggles in the USA, and reflect on, discuss, write about and even roleplay them.
