 History\nThursday, April 17, 4pm\nOakes College, Mural Room\n\nCo-sponsored 
 with the Asian American/Pacific Islander Resource Center\n\nDorothy 
 Fujita-Rony will address the contested terrain of Filipina/o American 
 history, and how various kinds of power shape how we reclaim, understand, 
 and share this history. In particular, she will explore literary and film 
 representations of Filipina/o American workers who arrived prior to World 
 War II, and what these representations suggest about the role of race, 
 gender, class, and nation in informing our understanding of Filipina/o 
 American history in present-day California.\n\nDorothy Fujita-Rony is an 
 Associate Professor in the Department of Asian American Studies at the 
 University of California, Irvine. She earned her undergraduate and graduate 
 degrees in the Department of American Studies, Yale University. She is the 
 author of American Workers, Colonial Power: Philippine Seattle and the 
 Transpacific West (UC Press, 2003), and is currently working on project 
 addressing a life history of a New York Chinatown pioneer, Lung Chin, and
