Introducing...The Historian's Table Sep 26, 2024

Welcome to The Historian’s Table, where taking an honest look at history means taking an honest look at ourselves. This includes the historians who write the history because history cannot be separated from the historian.

In season one, The First Asians in the Americas, we’re bringing you a 6-part narrative series focused on historian Diego Javier Luis. Diego’s recent work complicates our views of the past by recentering Asian American history away from railroads to the Transpacific voyages of the Manilla Galleons that started in the 16th century. Each episode explores a thematic parallel between Diego’s sense-of-self and specific histories from Diego’s research.
