Thanks for pointing towards the Okihiro in your syllabus; I'm purchasing that immediately for the library where I work. And I'm not sure how much research students will be doing, but if any of them are looking for primary sources, the Gidra archive is a good one: https://ddr.densho.org/ddr-densho-297/ (forgive the redundancy if this is already on your radar)

Thank you, and thanks so much for the Gidra link! I actually dipped into their archives for my course this past quarter on Transnational Asian American Activism! What a treasure of a digital archive! :)

Yeah, I came across it just yesterday after Cathy Park Hong posted this beyond fab photo of the Gidra collective on IG. I have building up a guide to radical archives on my list of things to do this spring (maybe? more like summer), esp because my college is expanding ethnic studies into an actual major in response to student demand (funny how history repeats itself again...and again...).
