Extractions: I am an ethnographic sociologist and my research is motivated by questions of how state policies (such as immigration laws) and race, class, and gender differences intrude on what we often view as the realm of the private, which is to say the family and intimate relations. I am therefore interested in the political and the social of the so-called private. My research employs both interviews and participant observations and aligns with feminist and race theories. I have published on topics of Vietnamese transpacific marriages and on racialized identities of second generation Vietnamese Americans. Courses I offer include: The New Second Generation Sociology of Asia America Intimacies in Asia America Masculinities Southeast Asian Americans Transnational Asia America ; and Vietnamese Migration .

Extractions: Asian Americans what is their position in the US By Sonia Shah, Cambridge USA Sonia Shah is an editor/publisher with South End Press at Cambridge Massachusetts USA and a freelance writer. Her essays on Asian American issues and feminism have appeared in many American periodicals including Z Magazine, In These Times, Nuclear Times, The Indian American and have been widely anthologised in several books. She has co-founded two South Asian womens groups in the US and was editor of Dragon Ladies: Asian American Feminists Breathe Fire (South End Press 1997). I write about Asian American issues on a fairly regular basis and in many ways consider myself an Asian American. Yet the term Asian American itself is problematic. Most of the people whom others would characterise as Asian American emphatically dont think of themselves that way. (And many, including most of my family members would be almost offended: they are Gujeratis , thank you very much!) Our particular histories, ethnicities and nationalities are a million times more visceral and meaningful in our lives than pan- Asianness Asians show far more diversity than similariites .

According to US Census Data, the Asian American population consists of these percentages of ethnicities: 23.8% Chinese, 20.4% Filipino, 12.3% Japanese, 11.8% Asian Indian, 11.6% Korean and 8.9% Vietnamese. Seventy percent of US Asians are immigrants who entered the US during one of three distinct immigration waves: before 1975, between 1975-1979, and 1980 or later. Most Asian Americans who have arrived since 1965 still live in ten large metropolitan areas. In 1996, an estimated four in ten Asian Americans lived in California. These US Asian-born individuals emigrated from countries with the overall lowest breast cancer rates in the world.

Driven by sustained immigration and refugee resettlement during the 1970's and 1980's, Asian Americans have emerged as the nation's fastest growing racial group. Given that the school-age Asian American population doubled in the 1980's and is expected to double again between 1990 and 2020, our schools and the larger society must confront some critical questions. For example, what do we know and what can we teach and learn about Asian Americans?

In the year 2000, the six largest Asian nationalities in the U.S. will be Filipinos, Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Asian Indians, and Japanese.

http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/1999/mar/03-17-99/edit/edit4.html

Extractions: The University's Thai Students Association is urging all Ann Arbor and Southeast Michigan residents to boycott Warner Brothers' new animated film version of "The King and I," scheduled for release on March 19. The King and I has been banned in Thailand since 1956, when the original film was released. The 1956 film starring Yul Brynner, which is the most recognizable version of "The King and I," and the stage musical upon which it is based, are highly offensive to Thais, Thai Americans and all Asian Americans. The very fact that this new version is animated and targeted towards children makes it doubly offensive. It may lead young viewers to believe that the stereotypical images of Asians and inherent discriminatory train of thought in the film are tolerable. The original musical and film contain many historical and cultural errors. Many decorative elements and Thai "customs" portrayed in the film are either depicted in inappropriate contexts or are simply not Thai. In keeping with a common practice in portraying Asian countries in the 1950s, the Siam (Thailand's historical name) portrayed in "The King and I" is a bizarre amalgam of various Asian cultural elements and elements created by Western sources to seem exotic and Oriental. His Royal Highness King Mongkut of Thailand is portrayed as an arrogant, stubborn, uneducated tyrant to be refined and taught the "correct" Western traditions by his children's schoolteacher, Anna. Factual errors abound in the film and musical's portrayal of the King.

Extractions: A Living History Filipino Addendumprintable PDF I mmigration continues as an important theme both in Utah's past and present and the ongoing peopling of Utah harbors accounts of optimism, triumphs, tragedies, joys fears and new opportunities. As part of this peopling, immigrants and refugees from different Asian countries have arrived to assume a place among Utah's ethnic and cultural diversity. The Chinese and Japanese who contributed to the state's early industrial and agricultural development were among the first, and these groups remain the most studied. But the stories of other Asian groups hover in relative obscurity. These people arrived when world economic, political, social, and technological forces again pushed people in motion. The Asian Indians, Cambodians, Chinese, Filipinos, Hmong, Japanese, Koreans, Laotians, Thai, Tibetan, and Vietnamese have ventured into Utah for the same reasons as earlier arrivals. Their accounts render a more complete view of Utah history. As the Governor of Utah, Michael O. Leavitt states in the book "The State´s Asian American population has played an important role in our history. By reading this book, you will become more familiar with their many accomplishments and the part they played in shaping who we are today."

Extractions: Nearly 3 percent of small businesses in Delaware are owned by Asian Americans, ranking Delaware 14th in the nation, according to data released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. Asian Americans own 1,500 of the state's companies, putting Delaware just below Alaska. The First State is ahead of No. 21 Pennsylvania, but behind New Jersey and Maryland, which are fourth and fifth, respectively. Nationwide, 4.4 percent of 20.8 million businesses are owned by Asians and Pacific Islanders, generating 2 percent of all sales receipts, according to the 1997 report from the Economic Census, a division of the Census Bureau. "I'm not surprised that Asian Americans rank relatively high in [the mid-Atlantic region], because Asian Americans like to live and do business in the metropolitan areas," said Sun Shin, a commercial loan officer at WSFS Financial Corp. and manager of the United Asian Bank division based in Elkins Park, Pa. By contrast, Delaware has one of the worst rankings for businesses owned by American Indians. Just 300 businesses, or about 0.2 percent, are owned by American Indians or Alaskan natives giving Delaware the 46th spot among the 50 states and Washington, D.C.
