    Extractions: I was born in upstate New York, but I was raised in the suburbs of Washington D.C. in Silverspring, Maryland. My parents, my father especially, talked about politics over the dinner table. They discussed politics and voted. When I was in junior high school, I got involved in student government. In high school, I got involved in my first political campaign back in 1974, when I was sixteen years old. As time went on, I just worked on more and more campaigns. I didn't have any role models, political role models, growing up. I was kind of self-motivated and my parents encouraged me. Unlike other Indian parents of the time, my parents encouraged me to be involved in student government and campaigns. AN UNUSUAL NAME Being Indian American, the advantage is I have a slightly unusual name. And having an unusual name is either a big plus or a big negative. In my case, I was able to make it into a big plus because it's easy to remember. When I ran in 1990, the big issue was choice. I was a pro-choice candidate running in a very heavily pro-choice district. So, I was able to link my name to the fact that I was pro-choice, and that was a big advantage. Also, being a Democrat, I think Democratic primary voters are much more accepting of people from different backgrounds. And you might notice that of the four Indian American State Legislators in office, all four of us are Democrats.

    http://www.pbs.org/searching/aaw_nganatra.html
    
    Extractions: I was born in Vancouver, Canada, but my family moved to Pasadena, California when I was still in school. There wasn't a large Indian American community at all in Pasadena, so we were definitely one of the few. It was kind of weird, going to high school with the sort of typical California blond-haired, blue-eyed students all around me. When I was growing up, I wasn't aware of my Indian identity. I think it was more American. Then I got to college and realized how Indian my upbringing was. It was a weird feeling. I had identified myself as American, spending all of my adolescence rejecting my Indian culture, saying, "I'm American. I'm American." And then when you get a little bit older, you realize "wow, now I'm more Indian than American." My family was very traditional and very Hindu. I remember my mom saying, "Well, if you don't learn how to cook, no one is going to want to marry you." There wasn't much progressive thinking going on in those days. So I totally rebelled. I was more like a tomboy and joined sports teams and was always doing the things that interested me, but that my mom said wouldn't make me a good marriage candidate. FROM ACTING TO DIRECTING I took my first acting class in high school. I got very excited about it, and it was the first thing I got interested in and thought, "Wow, I wanna do this. This speaks to me the most." And, of course, that's not a very popular decision with Indian parents. So, it kind of played into the whole double life of trying to be a good student by day and then going to these acting classes at night and trying to learn that craft.

    Extractions: Background Educational interventions are grounded on scientific data and assumptions about the community to be served. While the Pan Asian community is composed of multiple, ethnic subgroups, it is often treated as a single group for which one health promotion program will be applicable for all of its cultural subgroups. Compounding this stereotypical view of the Pan Asian community, there is sparse data about the cultural subgroups' similarities and dissimilarities. The Asian Grocery Store based cancer education program evaluation data provided an opportunity to compare data collected under identical circumstances from members of six Asian American cultural groups.

Until the mid-1900s, most Americans' knowledge of it was limited to works set in Asia written by American authors, such as "The Good Earth" and other books by Pearl S. Buck. However, Asian American authors have gradually won over more and more readers. The phenomenal popularity of Amy Tan's works is testament to the genre's success.

South Asians come here from many places, and they succeed by blending East and West Lynsey Addario / Corbis for Newsweek Pakistani-born painter Shahzia Sikander is a breakout South Asian star By Barbara Kantrowitz and Julie Scelfo Newsweek March 22 issue - Six floors above Times Square, in a bare rehearsal studio, the sun is rising on Bombay. At the center of the room, a slender middle-aged woman chants softly. She's surrounded by two dozen young performers playing beggars and peddlers who rise from slumber in the intricate ballet of an urban morning scene. Their dance moves become ever more energetic as the pianist in the corner pounds harder on the keys. The woman is Madhur Jaffrey, the actress and cookbook author who has made a career of introducing the tastes of her native India to the West. But this time she is serving up an enticing mix of Indian and Western rhythms called "Bombay Dreams," a Broadway musical that Andrew Lloyd Weber and his creative team hope will hook mainstream America when the show opens next month. advertisement

    Extractions: "Asian Pacific American Heritage Month was enacted by Public Law 102-450 on October 23, 1992. The purpose of the law was to honor the achievements of Asian/Pacific Americans and to recognize their contributions to the United States. This recognition was the culmination of Jeanie Jew's efforts in the 1970's to establish Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. Following the United States bicentennial in 1976, Jew realized that Asian Pacific Americans were ". . .were excluded from those stories during celebrations of the country's bicentennial. We were literally ignored even though we were part of building this country." A year later, Jew enlisted the support of Rep. Frank Horton (R-NY) who, along with Rep. Norman Mineta, (D-CA), introduced House Resolution 540. This resolution proclaimed the first ten days of May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. Senators Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga introduced similar legislation into the Senate. May was selected for the recognition because two significant events in history took place in that month: Japanese immigrants first arrived in the United States on May 7, 1843, and the transcontinental railroad was completed on May 10, 1869 (Golden Spike Day). Furthermore, since school is still in session during May, educators could capitalize on the opportunity to include Asian Pacific American history into the curriculum.
