KOREAN AMERICAN CONFERENCE: "10 Years After the 1992 Civil Unrest" UCLA’S ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES CENTER, in co-sponsorship with various student, academic, and community organizations, hosted the National Korean American Studies Conference, this year entitled "10 Years After the 1992 Civil Unrest." This May 11, 2002 conference, organized by Anthropology and Asian American Studies Professor Kyeyoung Park, along with Social Welfare Professor Ailee Moon and M.A. student Susie Woo, brought together community leaders/activists, writers, and scholars who have conducted research on the post-1992 L.A. Civil Unrest and the Korean American community. Ten years have passed since the 1992 Los Angeles Civil Unrest. Called Sa-I-Gu (or "4.29") among Korean Americans, it had a devastating effect on the city as a whole, and especially on the Korean American community. On April 29, 1992, four White police officers were acquitted in the beating of African American motorist Rodney King. That verdict sparked the Los Angeles civil disturbances that left fifty-five persons dead and over 2,000 injured. Over 1,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed at a loss of nearly $1 billion. Half of all the arrests were of Latinos, while one-in-three were Black residents. At least 2,200 Korean-owned businesses suffered a partial or total loss of their properties with damage estimated to be nearly 50 percent of the total damage for the city of Los Angeles.

Dancing Between The Notes:
Music and Asian American Panethnicity
by Gary Phillips
Asian American music turns 25 this year.
Two recently released CDs, a reissue of the 1973 folk classic by the group A Grain of Sand and the 1998 experiments by hip hop musician Jamez, reveal deep links between political identity and musical expression. These works express much about what it has meant and now means to be Asian American.
Birth of Asian American Music
Miyamoto, Chin and Iijima did more than string some guitar chords together and sing about global imperialism their album shows a dedication to making form as powerful as content. As a result, the album succeeds artistically, avoiding reduction to rote revolutionary rhetoric, devoid of feeling or pleasure.
Manifesto for Change
Music was more than a vessel for entertainment, it was also a vehicle for education.
Politics Follows Art

Stereotypes of Asian American Students. ERIC Digest.
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.

Asian American
An Asian American is a person of Asian ancestry or origin who was born in or is an immigrant to the United States The term "Asian American" is credited to the historian Yuji Ichioka who, in the late 1960s, used it to describe members of a new pan-ethnic radical political identity who shared common histories, experiences, and goals. This term has largely replaced the now-deprecated term "oriental", which was popularly used before the 1990s to describe East Asian peoples regardless of nationality, upbringing, or origin. Although immigrants from the " Middle East " (Western and Central Asia) are geographically Asian, they have generally neither been sufficiently visibly distinct as a group in America nor have they historically arrived in such large numbers to warrant attention as a major American racial or ethnic group until very recently (see ). As a result, they are not considered by most Americans to be typical Asians or Asian Americans, but identified by other means, such as " Arab Americans ". For these same reasons, northern Asians such as Siberians and peoples from former

But the story is far from simple, I admire Mary Paik Lee for her incredible endurance and courage. As a second generation Asian American, my familys roots in the United States are relatively new, but now I realize, that it has been due to Asian Americans like Mary Paik Lee that allow me to lead and pursue the life I wish. Not only is Quiet Odyssey the story of her life, it is also the story of California. Its eye opening to see how much Los Angeles and the rest of California have changed since she first landed here. And lastly, Mary Paik Lee has some incredible spunk to do and say some of the things she did. Impressive.

ASIAMS.NET ASIAN AMERICAN ISSUES Is Corean (Korean) Cinema the New HK Cinema?
(Updated Sunday, Feb 23, 2003, 07:53:00 AM) t the peak of its Golden Era between the mid-80s and early-90s Hong Kong cinema was defending nearly half its domestic box office turf against Hollywood imports, thanks to an unusual concentration of mega-talents like John Woo, Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan and Tsui Hark. No other film industry in the world had been able to claim that for a half century. What's more, some HK kung-fu and gangster flicks outdrew Hollywood thrillers in many international markets.
Corean heartthrob Won Bin
Hollywood's strategy for coping with the HK threat? Simple and devastatingly effective buy up the biggest box-office draws. The result has been an epic shift: the top HK talents have been reduced mostly to coolie-ing on Hollywood formulaics while HK cinema has become a parched gulch with bounding tumbleweeds and half-hinged screen doors banging forlornly with every hot gust.
Corean American Shiri star Kim Yoon-jin
But just as Asian Americans resigned themselves to having screen images hijacked by a remarkably Asian-unfriendly Hollywood, Corean cinema began throwing off heat. Beginning in the early 90s a hardy new generation of Corean filmmakers made themselves fixtures at the award ceremonies of Cannes, Venice and other international film festivals. By the turn of the century Corea's Pusan Film Festival emerged as Asia's premiere celluloid bazaar. But that was small potatoes, not enough to catch the notice of an industry whose real lifeblood is box office.

ASIAMS.NET ASIAN AMERICAN ISSUES Impact of Corean Unification
(Updated Wednesday, Apr 16, 2003, 10:01:47 AM) t's been over a decade since the Iron Curtain came crashing down in Europe. The Bamboo Curtain is little more than a quaint phrase. Yet the Cold War remains very much alive on the Corean (Korean for those who prefer the colonial spelling) peninsula.
Across a 186-mile DMZ glare opposing armies collectively totaling 1.7 million. By all reckoning the Pyongyang regime should have become ideological roadkill following the collapse of communism. Instead, it remains an impregnable roadblock to the economic integration of East Asia, the world's fastest-growing region.
How can an economic nonentity be such a roadblock?
Consider its location at what should have been the crossroads of East Asia. With 56% of the peninsula's land mass, North Corea separates on one side the world's greatest market and labor pool (China) and the biggest reserve of natural resources (Sibera) from, on the other, two of the world's leading technological and manufacturing nations (Japan and South Corea).
But for Pyongyang's intransigence Seoul would already be linked by railroads and superhighways to Beijing, Moscow, Berlin, Paris and London. All those cities would also be linked to Tokyo via a bridge across the 126-mile strait dividing Shimonoseki from Pusan. The savings in shipping cost and time alone could amount to tens of billions of dollars a year. Such a trans-Eurasian land link would accelerate the cultural and economic integration of not only East Asia, but the world. In the process, the Corean peninsula would shed the burden of financing the world's most heavily fortified frontier and become the center of the global economy.
