Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you fascinated by the allure of Asian women? Their commitment to family values and undeniable beauty make them highly sought after by men, particularly in the US. But, did you know that there is a side of Asian women that remains hidden from many? Unveiling the Veiled is the culmination of years of in-depth interviews with Asian women, encompassing their expectations, beliefs, and behaviors both before and after marriage. Through conversations with men who have married Asian women, a shocking truth has been unveiled - an obscure tendency that has transcended centuries and continues to persist, not only among Asian women in their native land but also among those residing in western countries. While these traits do transform in women who have spent many years outside of Asia, particularly those raised in foreign cultures, the strong bond they maintain with their families profoundly influences their subconscious. In order to dissect these paradigms and understand how Asian women truly feel, we compare younger and older generations, as well as women who have and haven't had contact with foreigners in their hometown. We aim to shed light on women who have been abroad and those who have engaged in relationships with foreigners. Unveiling the Veiled contains years of valuable information and countless face-to-face interviews. Our intent is not to discriminate against Asian women, but rather to shed light on their behaviors while uncovering the underlying reasons behind them. By exposing these truths, we hope to foster more honest and genuine relationships. Discover the captivating stories and emotional journey of Asian women in this revealing book. Gain insight into their unique experiences and challenges, from the perspective of those who have lived it firsthand. Whether you're an avid reader or simply seeking a deeper understanding of Asian culture, Unveiling the Veiled is a must-read.
Download or read book The Dark Side written by Young Park and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-11-17 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the United States is the history of people who migrated to America from all parts of the world. As a result American society is composed of many unique cultures and races. Unfortunately, the uniqueness of these cultures is one of the underlying causes of tension and conflict in America, resulting in racism, religious intolerance, and class warfare. In spite of this, the multi-racial nature of American society is an integral part of Americas strength as a nation. Thousands of immigrants from unique cultures who speak totally different languages came to find a better life in America. But they were never accepted by the dominate white Christians. The immigrants had to fight for the right to be in America. Racism, race riots, and genocide are integral parts of the lives of immigrants. The racial complexion of America is changing in the twenty-first century. In a short time the non-white population will be the majority. Social, economic, and political changes are already taking place. Unfortunately, the dominate power holders and white middle classes have not adjusted to these changes. The unique system of government and economics developed over the years has reached a point that many believe will end the American Empire. There is a certain bias in this presentation and criticism is aimed at the extreme beliefs and actions of a large segment of Americans, particularly white Christians. They have been the dominant political, social, and economic forces in the country. Any assessment of the American system becomes a criticism of that segment of Americans. Their beliefs and actions represent the Dark Side of America.
Download or read book Racial Melancholia Racial Dissociation written by David L. Eng and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Racial Melancholia, Racial Dissociation critic David L. Eng and psychotherapist Shinhee Han draw on case histories from the mid-1990s to the present to explore the social and psychic predicaments of Asian American young adults from Generation X to Generation Y. Combining critical race theory with several strands of psychoanalytic thought, they develop the concepts of racial melancholia and racial dissociation to investigate changing processes of loss associated with immigration, displacement, diaspora, and assimilation. These case studies of first- and second-generation Asian Americans deal with a range of difficulties, from depression, suicide, and the politics of coming out to broader issues of the model minority stereotype, transnational adoption, parachute children, colorblind discourses in the United States, and the rise of Asia under globalization. Throughout, Eng and Han link psychoanalysis to larger structural and historical phenomena, illuminating how the study of psychic processes of individuals can inform investigations of race, sexuality, and immigration while creating a more sustained conversation about the social lives of Asian Americans and Asians in the diaspora.

Book excerpt: Forcing a fundamental rethinking of the Asian American elite, many of whom have attained top positions in business, government, academia, sciences, and the arts, this book will be certain to generate a good deal of controversy and honest discussion regarding the role Asian Americans will play in the new century as China and India loom ever larger in the world economic system. Not since the large-scale infusion of scientists and engineers fleeing Nazi Germany has there been such a mass importation of intellectual labor from U.S. client states in Asia. One of the specialized tasks assigned to this group is to build the technetronic infrastructure for the new world order command and control system. Servitors of Empire is not intended to fan the flames of suspicion and paranoia aimed at Asian Americans, but serves to illuminate the way in which highly trained knowledge workers are being employed to bring sovereign nations such as the United States under centralized rule made possible through advances in bioscience, IT, engineering, and global finance.

Download or read book The Dark Side of the Nation written by Himani Bannerji and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These feminist Marxist and anti-racist essays speak to important political issues. Though they begin from experiences of non-white people living in Canada, they provide a critical theoretical perspective capable of exploring similar issues in other western and also third world countries. This reading of 'difference' includes but extends beyond the cultural and the discursive into political economy, state, and ideology. It cuts through conventional paradigms of current debates on multiculturalism. In particular, these essays take up the notion of 'Canada' - as the nation and the state - as an unsettled ground of contested hegemonies. They particularly draw attention to how the state of Canada is an unfinished one, and how the discourse of culture helps it to advance the legitimation claim which is needed by any state, especially one arising in a colonial context, with unsolved nationality problems. The myth of the 'two founding peoples', anglos and francophones, has always conveniently ignored the reality of First Nations. who may have a history of being indentured and politically marginalised and only begin struggling for political enfranchisement in their new homeland.

Book excerpt: Heartfelt personal accounts from Asian American women on their experiences with skin color bias, from being labeled “too dark” to becoming empowered to challenge beauty standards “I have a vivid memory of standing in my grandmother’s kitchen, where, by the table, she closely watched me as I played. When I finally looked up to ask why she was staring, her expression changed from that of intent observer to one of guilt and shame. . . . ‘My anak (dear child),’ she began, ‘you are so beautiful. It is a shame that you are so dark. No Filipino man will ever want to marry you.’”—“Shade of Brown,” Noelle Marie Falcis How does skin color impact the lives of Asian American women?

Download or read book The Rise of Asia written by Frank B. Tipton and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, Japan was seen as the peculiar exception in Asia: a highly dynamic economy isolated in an otherwise moribund continent. With the rise of the Southeast Asian and Chinese economies, however, it has now become clear that Asia as a whole is experiencing an extraordinary revolution which will result, within a very few years, in living standards for some countries being on a par with those in the West. The results of this transformation can only be guessed at, but The Rise of Asia adds a far greater sophistication to our understanding of how this process came about, treating the key areas of Asian life (economics, society and politics) as an integrated whole and avoiding the trap of most commentators, who see the phenomenon as an exclusively postwar economic issue. Balancing the uniquely Asian aspects with global developmental factors, Dr. Tipton creates a convincing picture of how this amazing change has occurred.
Download or read book Training of Inferior East Asian Women written by Jennifer Suzuki and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is related in this book is the reality of the next two centuries; what is described is what is already happening and still to come, and what can no longer come any differently: that every White man shall have asian women as his wives, girlfriends, concubines, pleasure slaves, and meat urinals as the natural progression of the world as inevitable as the river that flows into the ocean however restlessly, violently, that wants to reach its destination, that no longer can stop, and that is afraid to stop; this fact and this reality-this future-speaks even now in a hundred signs; its destiny announces itself on every street corner; and yet some refuse to hear its music; but it will have reached a point when people will no longer be able to delude themselves. As I have said hundreds of times, economic power, as an element of soft power, will not translate into hard power, and feminine superiority will not thereby transubstantiate into masculine superiority, therefore it is imperative, inevitable that this trend will continue to move forward headlong, unabated by any tortured tension that might grow with it from decade to decade. Asian women therefore must always submit to White men's will, and do them all possible honor, and any asian woman who behaves differently is worthy not only of severe censure, but of harsh punishment. I consider, in my judgement, all those asian women who are other than agreeable, kindly, and compliant to White men, should be harshly and rigidly disciplined through corporal punishment until she prostrates on the ground begging for mercy from her lord, her White god. "For a good horse and a bad, spurs are required; for a good asian woman or bad, the rod is required." All asian women are by nature pliant and yielding, and hence for those who step beyond their permitted bounds, the rod is required to punish their transgressions and in order to sustain the virtues of other asian women, who practice restraint, the rod is required to encourage and frighten them. An asian woman must know that she is born to serve and worship her White man as her governor, her lord and her god, and she must learn to love her White man as her own dear life. The new dawn of mankind is here, and White man is that divine sun and asian woman is his emulous moon. As the glorious sun rises from the east, he must kill the submissive moon, who is already humiliated and defeated. The supreme sun will once again cast his light onto this world, and he shall cast his long shadow over the subjugated moon.

Book excerpt: A woman teletransports to another dimension where her innate supernatural powers are ignited. She joins a secret society, with other supernatural beings, that are fighting off dominating forces from the world she came from. Have you ever wondered who those people are in your dreams that you do not know?THE TIE IS A LIE begins with the present day then flashes back and forth between the 1970s and the present. It takes place in Dreamtime and New Order Time, (N.O.T.), which are multi-dimensional worlds that exist simultaneously and are used interchangeably by those who can travel between the two; that co-exist in various places around the globe. An order was given in N.O.T. to destroy the environment and wild life motivated by a need for power to globalize and dictate the natural world including humans and immortals with special abilities. They are challenged by Awen, a secret society in Dreamtime, designed to eliminate powerful forces in N.O.T. and prevent them from colonizing Dreamtime. Vampires and shape-shifters, with extra special skills live with other humans and immortals in both worlds. Kino is an ancient Italian Vampire with advanced telekinetic powers and is a descendant from bloodlines of medicine men and Druid magic. He is honored yet feels cursed by his legacy to protect Dreamtime from the powerful forces that had taken parts of Dreamtime in the past and killed his mother and father. Executed with his cunning, methodical and merciless tactics he reclaimed what was taken from Dreamtime before. Meghan is his heart's desire but he must let go of a promise he made in order to love her completely. Meghan has been traveling to Dreamtime in her dreams where her latent powers ignited and have since been refined; she can literally write or draw her self to anywhere and eventually adds shape-shifting to her repertoire and becomes a spy and huntress of wildlife poachers. A deluge into Kino's world threatens its existence and the very thing that keeps his power strong which is Meghan. He was forewarned that if love broke his heart, it would weaken his powers; although faith and free will could set him free and release a promise he can no longer keep. Will the powerful individuals within Awen along with Kino and Meghan's power and love together be enough to sustain their future?

Download or read book Women Subalterns and Ecologies in South and Southeast Asian Women s Fiction written by Chitra Sankaran and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, East Asia has gained prominence and has become synonymous with Asia, while other Asian regions, such as South and Southeast Asia, have been subsumed under it. The resultant overgeneralization has meant that significant aspects of the global ecological crisis as they affect these two regions have been overlooked. Chitra Sankaran refocuses the global lens on these two rapidly developing regions of Asia. Combining South Asian and Southeast Asian philosophical views and folk perspectives with mainstream ecocritical and ecofeminist theories, she generates a localized critical idiom that qualifies and subverts some established theoretical assumptions. This pioneering study, introducing a corpus of more than thirty ecofictions by women writers from twelve countries in South and Southeast Asia, examines how recent global threats to ecosystems, in both nature and culture, impact subdominant groups, including women. This new corpus reveals how women and subalterns engage with various aspects of critical ecologies. Using ecofeminist theory augmented by postcolonial and risk theories as the main theoretical framework, Sankaran argues that these women writers present unique perspectives that review Asian women’s relationships to human and nonhuman worlds.
Download or read book Exalted Subjects written by Sunera Thobani and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-05-19 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions of national identity, indigenous rights, citizenship, and migration have acquired unprecedented relevance in this age of globalization. In Exalted Subjects, noted feminist scholar Sunera Thobani examines the meanings and complexities of these questions in a Canadian context. Based in the theoretical traditions of political economy and cultural / post-colonial studies, this book examines how the national subject has been conceptualized in Canada at particular historical junctures, and how state policies and popular practices have exalted certain subjects over others. Foregrounding the concept of 'race' as a critical relation of power, Thobani examines how processes of racialization contribute to sustaining and replenishing the politics of nation formation and national subjectivity. She challenges the popular notion that the significance of racialized practices in Canada has declined in the post Second World War period, and traces key continuities and discontinuities in these practices from Confederation into the present. Drawing on historical sociology and discursive analyses, Thobani examines how the state seeks to 'fix' and 'stabilize' its subjects in relation to the nation's 'others.' A controversial, ground-breaking study, Exalted Subjects makes a major contribution to our understanding of the racialized and gendered underpinnings of both nation and subject formation.
