Tracing histories from unheralded sites such as labor camps, lumber towns, lodging houses, and so-called slums, Dr. Asaka will discuss how migrant laborers worked alongside each other and forged unexpected alliances within the marine and coastal spaces of the Puget Sound. By uncovering the historical presence of marginalized groups and asserting their significance in the development of the region, Megan Asaka offers a deeper understanding of Seattle's complex past.

Seattle from the Margins was made possible in part by a grant from 4Culture's Heritage Program.
