Many Asian Americans have made great strides in achieving the American Dream. However, this diverse population faces great challenges from outside their communities as well as from within. Asian American Issues brings to the fore eight major issues affecting the Asian American population today, including media stereotypes of a model minority, transnationalism, panethnicity, intergenerational conflict, and cultural expression. Students will find that the background narrative and questions for debate and discussion are a meaningful way to engage in the current events of this growing ethnic group. The history of Asian immigrants in the United States spans more than 200 years. Today, they are the third largest minority group. Almost half live in the West but there are population shifts to other regions of the country. As they become more visible, community dynamics continue to evolve. Each generation also struggles with what it means to be Asian American.

"Compared to many existing texts on this subject, which tend to take a rather historical approach, this book focuses on more contemporary Asian experiences. Thus, Min has provided a new tool for those of use who have looked for adequate material to teach current Asian American trends in advanced undergraduate courses in the sociology of race as well as in ethnic studies. Encompassing a variety of perspectives from prominent scholars makes this book a valuable device to examine the less visible aspects of Asian Americans′ lives. Students and educators alike would certainly benefit from diligent study of this text." --TEACHING SOCIOLOGY, reviewed October 2006 by Etsuko Maruoka, SUNY-Stony Brook Offering a broad overview of the Asian American experience, Asian Americans provides an accessible resource for all students interested in the expanding and important Asian American population.

Skin Color As A Post Colonial Issue Among Asian Americans written by Ronald E. Hall and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2003 with Political Science categories.

Without minimizing White racism or other forms of Western social ills, and without criticizing or passing judgements on Asian-American, Hall (human ecology and social work, Michigan State U.) offers some insight into the implications of skin color for Asian-Americans, demonstrating a form of interaction among those who would otherwise be considered post-colonial victims. Among the dimensions he explores are the sport of color, psychological colonization, the bleaching syndrome, a survey of Asian's color bias in the Philippines, what Asian-American women say, Eurasian identity, racism though skin color, and beyond race. The text is double spaced. Annotation ♭2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
