2 Workshops, Election Day and a Revolution
by admin - October 29th, 2014
Our class for Tues 11/4 has light reading but will be a hands-on workshop with some sources and materials for understanding the internment of Americans of Japanese descent during World War II.
II. That internment included both American-born citizens and immigrants who were (as we have discussed) legally unnaturalizable. Please read the brief essay by David Goldstein-Shirley, and bring your laptops to class to use in group work. I will hand back your CITIZEN project drafts with my feedback and comments.
