Following the tour, learn strategies for engaging students in the primary source artifacts, images, and documents found in JANM’s vast collection and discover classroom-ready resources to support teaching and learning about the Japanese American experience.
China's Latest Twists and Turns

Through 2012, China constantly made headlines--just as it had in the last Olympic year. In 2012 as in 2008, we read of trauma in Tibet, environmental protests in the Yangzi Delta, and nationalist outbursts in Beijing. There were also surprising news stories. There was no earthquake or globally-wowing Bird's Nest spectacle in 2012, but a blind lawyer made a miraculous escape and Bo Xilai fell unexpectedly fast. The one expected 2012 big news event, Hu Jintao passing the baton to Xi Jinping, seemed anticlimactic when it finally occurred, and no one is quite sure how the new leader will be different from the old one. As 2013 begins with its own dramas, such as a strike by journalists, Jeffrey Wasserstrom turns a cultural historian's eye on recent developments in an informal presentation meant to stimulate debate and discussion.
