The History of American Immigration Through a California Lens
June 24-30, 2018
Occidental College
Instructor
Jane Hong, Assistant Professor of History, Occidental College
Introduction
This workshop will provide an overview of American immigration history
through the lens of the California experience. Our study will progress
chronologically, beginning with events leading up to statehood - encounters
with First Nations peoples, Spanish colonization, Mexican independence, and
the 1848 war with Mexico that brought California into the United States. We
will then consider the State's incorporation into an increasingly
centralized U.S. immigration bureaucracy and the turn toward "gatekeeping"
that began in the late nineteenth century and continued through the middle
of the twentieth century. Post-1965 immigration from Latin America and Asia
intensified long-standing debates over what it means to be American, with
consequences for politics and policymaking on both the state and national
levels. The workshop is especially interested in how a centering of the
California experience challenges traditional understandings of American
immigration, often framed around Ellis Island and immigrants from Europe.
How does a focus on California change the story and the people in it?
