    Extractions: I find it useful to begin my Introduction to Asian American literature classes with a discussion of terminology. First, I deconstruct the term oriental, explaining that as a signifier of someone or something of Asian origin it is no longer viable since it is burdened with all the negative connotations of inferiority, irrationality, and exoticism that Edward Said clearly delineated in his groundbreaking cultural history Orientalism. (NY: 1978) By contrast, the term Asian is a neutral geographical designation and therefore more acceptable. Next, I explore the rather fluid boundaries of the terms Asian, American, and literature. Asia, as the world's largest continent, stretches from what used to be the U.S.S.R, west of the Ural Mountains, as far east as the Bering Strait, and as far south as the Indian Ocean; it is separated from Africa by the Suez Canal, includes all of the Middle East as well as the islands of the South Pacific. However, the boundaries of Asia as employed by scholars of Asian American literature have been much more limited, focused primarily on writers of so-called East Asian origins. [East Asia is only east in relation to Europe, of course; from an American perspective, China, Japan, and Korea are the Near West.] Kai-yu Hsu and Helen Palubinskas, editors of the first anthology in the field

    Extractions: History Skill: Interpreting Documents; Media Type: Documents Quiz Short Answer Project Resources The immigration of Asians to America brought about a redefinition of the concepts of race and citizenship in the United States. Many Chinese immigrants went to the Pacific Coast to work in railroads and mining, decisively altering the politics of that region. These Chinese immigrants received lower wages than their fellow workers of European ancestry. Non-Asian workers formed unions to oppose both the companies that sought to employ the Chinese, and the fact of Chinese immigration itself. The labor movement on the West Coast thus emerged as a response to the very existence of the Chinese. Yet the implications for racial identity were felt well beyond the labor movement. Where people of European background had previously been divided along ethnic lines, distinguishing, for example, between people of Irish and German ancestry, the presence of the Chinese led to the emergence of a larger category of “whites.” This category of whiteness in turn had a profound effect on the struggle by Chinese Americans and other Asian immigrants to gain the rights of American citizenship. Until 1898, Asian immigrants could not become citizens of the United States. Asians fought their exclusion from the civic life of the nation in a series of legal and political battles that culminated in the case of

In 1979, 217,000 enrolled 8-15 year old APIs were identified as language minorities; by 1989, the number had reached 547,000 (National Center for Education Statistics. 1992) With their drastically different cultural backgrounds, API children's schooling poses a challenge to educators and the society It is important not to generalize an understanding of one group to another. For example, the Vietnamese and Hmong, though both Indochinese, differ in their basic cultural patterns The Vietnamese, many with a (Chinese ancestry. have a sophisticated literate culture and strong abilities to adapt to the market society; the

    Extractions: Contact Cyn Introduction Asian American Overview Asian American Bibliography Asian American Book Links ... For Grown-Ups Introduction by Children's Author Greg Leitich Smith (Japanese-German American) The field of Asian American children's and young adult literature includes many wonderful books poetically written and exquisitely illustrated. The number of children's authors and illustrators working from the relevant communities is steadily on the rise, and some of these folks like Yumi Heo, Allen Say, An Na Linda Sue Park , Janet Wong, Lisa Yee, and Laurence Yep have received great critical acclaim. Books featuring Japanese, Chinese, and Korean characters while still limited in number are far more prevalent than those reflecting any other Asian or Asian American community, especially the Southeast Asian. We hope to see more quality books reflecting the diversity of Asian American life in the future. Read An Interview With Linda Sue Park A SUITCASE OF SEAWEED AND OTHER POEMS by Janet S. Wong (McElderry, 1996). Drawing on her Chinese, Korean, and American backgrounds, poet Wong offers an insightful, sometimes poignant, sometimes funny voice to children's poetry. Free verse. Highly recommended for ages 10-up.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC This digest discusses the various negative and positive Asian American stereotypes. It also explores how school practices and individual educatorsconsciously or unconsciouslymay reinforce them. Doing so has important negative social, political, and economic ramifications for Asian Americans. Indeed, while Asian Americans are often characterized as the "model minority" (Lee, 1997, p. 442), many have serious psychological and emotional concerns which are not being addressed. GENERAL STEREOTYPES MODEL MINORITY STEREOTYPES SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONCERNS The model minority stereotype that Asian American students are "whiz kids" (Brand, 1987) and immune from behavioral or psychological distresses prevents them from acknowledging academic and emotional problems and seeking help. S. Lee (1996) reports on a Cambodian student named Ming who was failing his classes but refused to seek help for his academic difficulties, believing that admitting his academic failure would cause his family to lose face (be ashamed). He was trying to live within the boundaries of the model minority stereotype, and as a result was perpetuating his academic problems, leaving him feeling isolated and depressed.

When the Oscar nomination list was released, some pointed to racism, corruption, or just plain ignorance as the deciding factor, but Tran has a different take.

But a community as large, diverse, and dynamic as the Asian American and Pacific Islander peoples cannot stay on the edge of obscurity, frustrated by images that have rendered us invisible and voiceless, while other American communities wonder why we are at the center of key issues of the day."
