Tips for the case analysis journals/questions to focus on:
*Provide the sociohistorical context. How did this case come before the Court?
*What specific issues came before the Court?
*How did the Court rule, and how did they explain their ruling?
*Be sure to discuss the dissent(s), if any.
*What impact did the ruling have on Asian Americans? How did the ruling impact how Asian Americans were racialized and stereotyped?
*As with the reading response journals, seek to make connections where relevant, whether to other aspects of the course material, your own lived experience, or anything else.
*In the end, one way to frame the case analysis journal is to ask: Why is this case important in Asian American legal and political history?

write a 3-4-page summary in which you identify what you think are important recurring themes within the presentations of each era. Your summaries should demonstrate that you have consistently been paying attention in class, but they do not necessarily need to integrate everything we cover. In fact, I prefer that they not attempt to replicate the lectures in abbreviated form, but rather that they reveal that you have in some way processed the material in a way that enable you to make meaningful selections about what you think are the big ideas that give shape to the individual works (I would aim for about 3-5 of these big ideas). Your summaries need to include several references (at least six) to specific works shown in class, and they will also need to incorporate discussion of at least three of the assigned readings (that effectively demonstrate that you have read them). It will also be very important to make connections between the works and the readings, particularly in instances in which the readings are not necessarily strictly art-object focused Unit II: Medieval Art and Culture Sept. 27 – Jain and Hindu iconography- “The Cosmic Vision,” from Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation, Three Rivers Press, 2000.
