Asian American Studies At The University Of California, Davis The first Asian American Studies course was offered, jointly sponsored by Professors Isao Fujimoto ABS), Kenne Chang (Anthropology), and JP Lo (history). http://asa.ucdavis.edu/community/apihistory.html
Extractions: Students form the AACAsian American Concerns. This was the first pan Asian group on campus, and they organized the first API conference, which drew about 500 people to freeborn hall, in either fall of '68 or '69. The conference was held on October 10th, to coincide with an important date in Chinese revolutionary history. Asian American Studies continued to grow, and the program began recruiting faculty. George Kagiwada was recruited from Canada. Early participants included Paul Wong, who now teaches in UCLA, June Otow at RCAC, and Joyce Sakai who started the Asian Community Center in Sacramento. Brian Tom in the law school helped the AAC and worked with Professor Fujimoto to recruit for the program. Ben Tsou is hired to teach Cantonese (the only language to ever be housed in ASA), and he would hire Peter Leung (who was studying for his masters in horticulture at the time) to teach for him. After Ben could no longer teach the classes, Peter Leung would teach the courses for over 30 years.

Everything You Need To Know About Asian American History Everything You Need to Know About Asian American history. Book Everything You Need to Know About Asian American history Customer Reviews http://www.earth-religions.com/Everything_You_Need_to_Know_About_Asian_American_
Extractions: This book is in a readable format consisting of questions that middle and senior high school students might ask about Asian Americans. For the most part, the explanations are clear and short. I do not agree with the reviewers who hated this book. The titles they recommended are scholarly works more suitable for the college level. This book is a useful introduction, not "Everthing you need to know," as the title suggests. This book has sparked interest in Asian American history and many of my middle school students have gone further to read Sucheng Chan and Ron Takakis Asian Pacific Islander series, but I havent had much luck using the more scholarly Asian American histories as a starting point.

This course is an introduction, not only to the history of peoples of Asian ancestry in the United States, but also to the construction of an Asian American collectivity. It will examine the places Asian Americans have occupied in the imagination of the dominant society; forces that impelled their migrations; the labor they performed and communities they formed; their responses to social and legal discrimination; and how gender and sexuality have shaped Asian American communities. We will critically interrogate the term Asian American, examine its emergence, and ask to what extent and under what conditions that term is meaningful. The categories of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and sexuality will figure prominently in our analyses as we explore similarities and differences among Asian American experiences, and place Asian Americans within the context of U.S. society. Readings will include both primary and secondary sources. Mondays and Wednesdays will be devoted primarily to lectures. Discussion sessions will typically be on Fridays (unless otherwise noted) and will entail conversations around the assigned readings and topics raised in lectureled by a group of students.

So hopefully you'll enjoy the fruits of my HTML labor. If you see any outdated links to the old site, please let those other webmasters or me know! This non-commercial site was conceived of and designed by Richard E. Wairata Griner as a celebration of Asian- American celebrities and entertainers and the positive impact they've had on the American community (and abroad). It is my aim to present these public figures to you in a respectful, tasteful and informative manner. Please direct all questions, comments, and suggestions you might have my way ... this site is yours, too, and I'd love to have feedback while I update this website!

Proud Sponsor of DC We Read Event Washington, DC May 25, 2004 - The Network of South Asian Professionals, Washington DC Chapter (NetSAP-DC) joined other Washington-area organizations and businesses on Tuesday May 25, 2004 to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri for the third annual DC We Read month-long reading program. Ms. Lahiri's first book, Interpreter of Maladies, a collection of nine short stories about cross-cultural and interpersonal relations as seen through the eyes of a second-generation South Asian immigrant, and the winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, was chosen as this year's featured work. Mrs. Lahiri read the first 13 pages of the short story "Mrs. Sen's," and then fielded questions from the audience before signing copies of her award-winning compilation. When asked by audience members on which was her favorite story in the collection, and which was her favorite to write, Ms. Lahiri responded that she did not have a specific favorite, and that "each one [story] feels essential in enabling me to write the next one If I hadn't written the first one, I wouldn't have written the second."

For example: has anyone watched the show G4TV.com ? The premise starts out promising - it's a talk show, based off of the G4TV message boards. The hosts see what they're doing and they look to the boards for discussion topics. They talk about it, everything should be hunky dory. Right? Wrong.
