Though there are many narratives of Asian American and Pacific Islander experiences within the American South, few of these experiences are centered in our curriculums nor are AAPI Americans frequently featured as historical actors within Southern history as a whole. Here, we have created resource guides to remedy this issue. These collections include authors, scholarly work, literature, databases of primary source documents, and audiovisual narratives that blend together to tell essential stories. By assembling a collection of diverse AAPI histories of the South, this guide will serve as a tool for students and educators alike who wish to recover these experiences.

Here we have created an index for our resource guides that each tell their respective stories of AAPI histories in the South. In addition to these collections, below there are more generalized resources and author highlights that can further aid in centering AAPI experiences in the classroom.
