FEAR OF POLITICS I think still to this day, most asian americans, certainly mostIndian americans, have this impression that politics is something that would
http://www.pbs.org/searching/aap_kbarve.html
DINNER TABLE POLITICS
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
GROWING UP IN THE U.S.
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.

References 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.

Years ago, Asian American literature may have conjured images of haikus and little else. 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.
Asian American literature encompasses a diverse array of cultures, from Chinese and Japanese to Indian, Korean and Filipino. Explore the following sites to sample a taste of Asian American literature.

South Asian health issues
This section provides pointers to some studies of health issues extracted mostly from Medline that are specifically concerned with South Asians, particularly women, for example, studies that show ethnic differences in incidences of certain medical conditions. The stress is on medical issues, though sociological concerns and circumstances are sometimes tied in. This is not meant to be an exhaustive survey of such studies. Also bear in mind that any one study cannot be taken to provide conclusive evidence of any phenomenon; the study that contradicts it may not be far behind.

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

"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.

Asian American Studies Collection
The Mission of the Asian American Studies Collections (AASC) is primarily to
support the curriculum program of the undergraduate and graduate students and
the research of the faculty in the Ethnic Studies Department. It is also to provide
support in this area to the other University of California campuses and the general
community at large.
Often the term “East Asian” and “Asian American” cause confusion in relation to
library collections. Traditionally, the East Asian collections focused on East Asian
countries such as Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and China rather than on the
distinct experiences of Asians in America or of Chinese in other countries, known
as ChineseOverseas. Asian Americans include the following groups: Asian Indians, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, South Asians (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka Americans), and Southeast Asians (Burmese, Cambodian (Kampuchean), Lao, Lao Hmong, Lao Mien, Thai, Vietnamese Americans) . The Asian American Studies Collection (AASC) is the result of intensive acquisition for more than twenty five years. It is today one of the most
