DESCRIPTION:From the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 to the incarceration of 
 Japanese Americans during World War II\, the United States has a long hist
 ory of anti-Asian policies. In his latest book\, author and USC Associate 
 Professor of History Lon Kurashige demonstrates that despite widespread ra
 cism\, Asian exclusion was not the product of an ongoing national consensu
 s\; it was a subject of fierce debate.\n\n<em>Two Faces of Exclusion</em>&
 nbsp\;examines the organized and well-funded opposition to discrimination 
 that involved some of the most powerful public figures in American politic
 s\, business\, religion\, and academia. In recovering this opposition\, Ku
 rashige explains the rise and fall of exclusionist policies through an uns
 table and protracted political rivalry\, arguing that exclusion-era polici
 es were more than just enactments of racism&mdash\;they were also catalyst
 s for US-Asian cooperation and the basis for the 21st century&rsquo\;s tig
 htly integrated Pacific world.\n\nJoin Kurashige for a stimulating discuss
 ion that will include a special focus on events leading up to the WWII inc
 arceration of Japanese Americans.\n\nFree with&nbsp\;<a href="http://www.j
