Act IV: I Belong Here

Season 1 · Episode 5

Tuesday, November 19, 2024 • Duration 37:11

We sometimes ignore parts of our past that we are ashamed of, but if we are being honest with ourselves and with history, we have to face and acknowledge these things. In this episode, Diego and Julian look to their childhoods in Nashville, and Diego tells the story of Catarina de San Juan - a holy woman whose story the Spanish Empire censored and tried to erase.

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, November 12, 2024 • Duration 36:44

Honest history requires humanizing the people involved. Diego and Julian travel to Nashville to visit William, Diego's dad, so we can get to know Diego better by learning about this man that had such a big impact on him.

Act II: Culturally Adrift

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, November 5, 2024 • Duration 35:25

The identities we seek are not always the identities find. In Diego's travels to China, Thailand, and Spain in search of a sense of belonging, he finds community in unexpected places. These experiences influenced Diego's research as he considered how the first Asians in the Americas established community with strangers in a strange land under the name of Chino.

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, October 29, 2024 • Duration 36:15

Introducing...The Historian's Table

Season 1

Thursday, September 26, 2024 • Duration 02:00

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
