This Month: How Much of These Hills is Gold with Karen Kuo
How are Asian Americans represented in the United States of America? What role did they play in western expansion? Which narratives have been included? Which have been left out? What does it mean to reconsider US history through Asian American identity and migration? How can we undermine the myth of manifest destiny? What does being American even mean?
Join Karen Kuo, ASU Professor of Asian Pacific American Studies, for a conversation exploring Asian American identity, migration, representation, and history at Get Lit on Thursday, November 5, 2020 at 7 pm Phoenix MST.
While this month's Get Lit is inspired by C Pam Zhang's How Much of These Hills is Gold, you do not have to have read or be familiar with the book in order to attend.
C Pam Zhang will be visiting with ASU Professor Julian Lim at the Scholarly Series on Hope and Empowerment on Friday, November 20, 2020 at 4:00 p.m. (presented in partnership with the Institute for Humanities Research at ASU).
