Download or read book Victorio Acosta Velasco written by Michael Serizawa Brown and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2007 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a biography of Victorio Acosta Velasco, a Filipino-born journalist and labor leader who immigrated to the United States in 1924. At this time, thousands of young Filipinos were coming to America to further their education, find opportunity, and realize the idealism the U.S. was rumored to offer. Upon arriving in Seattle, however, Velasco learned that the 'American Dream' hardly applied to dark-skinned immigrants. Devalued by the workforce and spurned by white women, the disillusioned Velasco became involved in Filipino activities, but never conceded his place in American society. Amongst other achievements, he published poetry in nearly a dozen mainstream anthologies on American literature. Ultimately, by the end of the Second World War, Velasco had learned to approach his Caucasian relationships with more circumspection, and also began to experience intra-ethnic conflicts with other Filipinos. This book seeks to counter the negative, one-dimensional portraits of Asian men in popular media, and informs its readers of an authentic and challenging Filipino-American experience.

Book excerpt: This directory lists approximately 250 organizations for women of color, organizations that were founded or led by women of color, and those in which the membership and constituency are primarily women of color. Each listing contains essential contact information and, where available, information about the organization's mission, constituency, and programs. E-mail addresses and Web sites are included where available. The list is indexed by state, race/ethnicity, and central issue, with some overlap among the issue categories. Thirty-six of these organizations identify themselves as primarily concerned with educational issues; most of these are based in cities. Fifty-nine organizations are identified as having a major focus on employment, economic development, and job training, and 40 emphasize their connection to mentoring, scholarships, and youth services. Other areas into which organizations are grouped include cultural, health, women's concerns, and substance abuse. (SLD)
Download or read book Affirmative Advocacy written by Dara Z. Strolovitch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States boasts scores of organizations that offer crucial representation for groups that are marginalized in national politics, from women to racial minorities to the poor. Here, in the first systematic study of these organizations, Dara Z. Strolovitch explores the challenges and opportunities they face in the new millennium, as waning legal discrimination coincides with increasing political and economic inequalities within the populations they represent. Drawing on rich new data from a survey of 286 organizations and interviews with forty officials, Strolovitch finds that groups too often prioritize the interests of their most advantaged members: male rather than female racial minorities, for example, or affluent rather than poor women. But Strolovitch also finds that many organizations try to remedy this inequity, and she concludes by distilling their best practices into a set of principles that she calls affirmative advocacy—a form of representation that aims to overcome the entrenched but often subtle biases against people at the intersection of more than one marginalized group. Intelligently combining political theory with sophisticated empirical methods, Affirmative Advocacy will be required reading for students and scholars of American politics.

Download or read book White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders written by Miya Saika Chen and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the most recent U.S. Census figures, there are over 17 mil-lion Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) in the United States today. As one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse groups in the country, AAPIs trace their heritage to over 30 different countries and ethnic groups and speak over 100 languages and dialects. From 2000 to 2010, Asian Americans experienced a 43 percent increase and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders experienced a 30 percent increase in population. To help understand what these changing demographics mean for the federal government, President Obama reauthorized the White House Initiative on AAPIs on Oct. 14, 2009, to improve the quality of life of AAPIs by better connecting them with federally available programs and protections. Although AAPIs have helped build a strong and vibrant U.S., many still face linguistic isolation, poverty, immigration issues, and other barriers to achieving their full potential. This Guide to Federal Agency Resources is an easy-to-use navigational tool on federal funding, programs, and resources. It is by no means compre-hensive, but it is meant to provide a brief snapshot of federal resources available to assist organizations and individuals seeking to improve the quality of life of AAPIs. Within this guide, individuals and organizations can find such information as grant opportunities for nonprofit organiza-tions, loan programs to help start a business, federal resources for food and housing for low-income individuals, and health-care programs for veterans. For each federal entity highlighted, the first section provides a short description of online search engines for federal government grants. Each subsequent section provides an overview of the federal agency, selected services and programs that agency offers, and links to additional resources. This guide also includes 10 Grantee Spotlights, featuring organizations and individuals who have successfully navigated the federal grant application process and can offer advice, by example, to prospective applicants.
