HIST 9.05 Crossing the Pacific: Empire, Labor, Migration

This course explores how trans-Pacific interactions shaped both the United States and the Pacific region from nineteenth-century gold rushes to the U.S. war in Vietnam. In particular, it examines the relationship between migration, race, and empire, with a focus on how U.S. colonialism and imperialism depended on migration and labor of Asian and Pacific peoples. This discussion-based course uses a wide array of historical sources, including speeches, laws, photographs, oral histories, and maps.
