Download or read book Statistical Record of Asian Americans written by Susan B. Gall and published by Gale Cengage. This book was released on 1993 with total page 852 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the same format as "Statistical Record of Black America" ( LJ 4/15/91) and "Statistical Record of Hispanic Americans" (Gale, 1993), these fine reference works enable users to gain a better understanding of the profiled minority groups. "The Statistical Record of Asian Americans" covers the "American and Canadian Asian and Pacific Islander population segments''; Native North Americans focuses on "the indigenous population of North America.'' Hundreds of tables (1,857 altogether) and vast numbers of figures are given. More than just governmental sources were used to locate data: periodicals, newspapers, popular trade books, and organizational publications are the basis for some of the tables. Data are both historical and contemporary/current; however, much of the 1990 census was not available for perusal, and additional problems faced by the editorial teams are explained. Topics covered in Asian Americans include attitudes and opinions; business and government; crime, law enforcement, and civil rights; education; employment; health; immigration; income, spending, and wealth; population and vital statistics; and religion. Native North Americans deals with such subjects as history; demographics; the family; education; culture; healthcare; social and economic conditions; land and water management; government relations; and Canada (over 300 pages on this latter topic). Regarding depth of coverage, these volumes put the Statistical Abstract of the United States to shame. To the publisher's credit, both works feature print that is relatively large: squinting at the tables won't be necessary. These are marvelous compilations that many libraries will want to obtain. The current price is almost unbelievable for the amount of material included. Hopefully, updated supplements are being planned. Highly recommended for both academic and public libraries.-- Katherine Dahl, Western Illinois Univ. Lib., Macomb - Library Journal.

Book excerpt: Does race still matter? In the United States, legal categories of race continue to multiply. Have these official definitions, once constructed by a white majority for exclusionary and oppressive ends, successfully transformed into tools for enforcing civil rights? After a historical background, Lott gives a detailed explanation of the origins and implications of Directive 15 - a critical juncture in the recent legal development of census and national data categories. She then turns to the complexities of Asian American identities, deconstructing widely accepted minority/majority classifications, and historicizing the changing definitions of those labels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extending the understanding of race and ethnicity in the South beyond the prism of black-white relations, this interdisciplinary collection explores the growth, impact, and significance of rapidly growing Asian American populations in the American South. Avoiding the usual focus on the East and West Coasts, several essays attend to the nuanced ways in which Asian Americans negotiate the dominant black and white racial binary, while others provoke readers to reconsider the supposed cultural isolation of the region, reintroducing the South within a historical web of global networks across the Caribbean, Pacific, and Atlantic.

Joshi, ChangHwan Kim, Marguerite Nguyen, Purvi Shah, Arthur Sakamoto, Jasmine Tang, Isao Takei, and Roy Vu.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Asian American History written by David K. Yoo and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After emerging from the tumult of social movements of the 1960s and 1970s, the field of Asian American studies has enjoyed rapid and extraordinary growth. Nonetheless, many aspects of Asian American history still remain open to debate. The Oxford Handbook of Asian American History offers the first comprehensive commentary on the state of the field, simultaneously assessing where Asian American studies came from and what the future holds. In this volume, thirty leading scholars offer original essays on a wide range of topics. The chapters trace Asian American history from the beginning of the migration flows toward the Pacific Islands and the American continent to Japanese American incarceration and Asian American participation in World War II, from the experience of exclusion, violence, and racism to the social and political activism of the late twentieth century. The authors explore many of the key aspects of the Asian American experience, including politics, economy, intellectual life, the arts, education, religion, labor, gender, family, urban development, and legal history. The Oxford Handbook of Asian American History demonstrates how the roots of Asian American history are linked to visions of a nation marked by justice and equity and to a deep effort to participate in a global project aimed at liberation. The contributors to this volume attest to the ongoing importance of these ideals, showing how the mass politics, creative expressions, and the imagination that emerged during the 1960s are still relevant today. It is an unprecedentedly detailed portrait of Asian Americans and how they have helped change the face of the United States.
