This volume consists of ten chapters that explore both the history of South Asian America, spanning from the 1780s through the present day, and various aspects of the South Asian American experience, from civic engagement to family. Each chapter offers stories of struggle, resistance, inspiration, and joy that disrupt dominant narratives that have erased South Asian Americans’ role in U.S. history and made restrictions on our belonging. By combining these narratives, Our Stories illustrates the diversity, vibrancy, and power of the South Asian American community.

Book Synopsis How to Be South Asian in America by : anupama jain
Download or read book How to Be South Asian in America written by anupama jain and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a useful analysis of and framework for understanding immigration and assimilation narratives, anupama jain's How to Be South Asian in America considers the myth of the American Dream in fiction (Meena Alexander's Manhattan Music), film (American Desi, American Chai), and personal testimonies. By interrogating familiar American stories in the context of more supposedly exotic narratives, jain illuminates complexities of belonging that also reveal South Asians' anxieties about belonging, (trans)nationalism, and processes of cultural interpenetration. jain argues that these stories transform as well as reflect cultural processes, and she shows just how aspects of identity—gender, sexual, class, ethnic, national—are shaped by South Asians' accommodation of and resistance to mainstream American culture.

Book Synopsis The Racialized Experiences of Asian American Teachers in the US by : Jung Kim
Download or read book The Racialized Experiences of Asian American Teachers in the US written by Jung Kim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on in-depth interviews, this text examines how Asian American teachers in the US have adapted, persisted, and resisted racial stereotyping and systematic marginalization throughout their educational and professional pathways. Utilizing critical perspectives combined with tenets of Asian Critical Race Theory, Kim and Hsieh structure their findings through chapters focused on issues relating to anti-essentialism, intersectionality, and the broader social and historical positioning of Asians in the US. Applying a critical theoretical lens to the study of Asian American teachers demonstrates the importance of this framework in understanding educators’ experiences during schooling, training, and teaching, and in doing so, the book highlights the need to ensure visibility for a community so often overlooked as a "model minority", and yet one of the fastest growing racial groups in the US. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in the sociology of education, multicultural education, and teachers and teacher education more broadly. Those specifically interested in Asian American history and the study of race and ethics within Asian studies will also benefit from this book.
Book Synopsis South Asians in the United States by : Shreya Bhandari
Download or read book South Asians in the United States written by Shreya Bhandari and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Currently, about 5.4 million South Asians live in the United States. About 80 percent are of Indian origin, followed by Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Sri Lankan, and Bhutanese. This unique book compiles comprehensive evidence-based literature on the prevalence, nature, and type of social issues that South Asians in the United States deal with, along with culturally responsive, intersectional-aware interventions for social work students, practitioners, and other helping professionals. South Asians are termed as the "model minority" due to their rapid financial and social success in the mainstream. Many Americans think that this community is free of social problems. However, in reality, there are a number of social issues that South Asians deal with, including those related to domestic violence, mental health, parenting, the workplace, and aging. It is hard for the South Asian community to acknowledge that these issues exist in their own community due to the stigmatization of "failure" and the shame associated with it. Moreover, there is a dearth of South Asian-specific research, knowledge, and skills that practitioners need to work with South Asians. This book examines many of the issues that the South Asian community in the United States deals with, offering an intersectional perspective, culturally competent interventions, and hope for this underserved population"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans are a growing, minority population in the United States. After a 46 percent population growth between 2000 and 2010 according to the 2010 Census, there are 17.3 million Asian Americans today. Yet Asian Americans as a category are a diverse set of peoples from over 30 distinctive Asian-origin subgroups that defy simplistic descriptions or generalizations. They face a wide range of issues and problems within the larger American social universe despite the persistence of common stereotypes that label them as a “model minority” for the generalized attributes offered uncritically in many media depictions.

Book Synopsis Speaking the Unspeakable by : Margaret Abraham
Download or read book Speaking the Unspeakable written by Margaret Abraham and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years, much work has focused on domestic violence, yet little attention has been paid to the causes, manifestations, and resolutions to marital violence among ethnic minorities, especially recent immigrants. Margaret Abraham's Speaking the Unspeakable is the first book to focus on South Asian women's experiences of domestic violence, defined by the author as physical, sexual, verbal, mental, or economic coercion, power, or control perpetrated on a woman by her spouse or extended kin. Abraham explains how immigration issues, cultural assumptions, and unfamiliarity with American social, legal, economic, and other institutional systems, coupled with stereotyping, make these women especially vulnerable to domestic violence. Abraham lets readers hear the voices of abused South Asian women. Through their stories, we learn of their weaknesses and strengths, and of their experiences of domestic violence within the larger cultural, social, economic, and political context. We see both the individual strategies of resistance against their abusers as well as the pivotal role South Asian organizations play in helping these women escape abusive relationships. Abraham also describes the central role played by South Asian activism as it emerged in the 1980s in the United States, and addresses the ideas and practices both within and outside of the South Asian community that stereotype, discriminate, and oppress South Asians in their everyday lives.

Book Synopsis Counternarratives from Asian American Art Educators by : Ryan Shin
Download or read book Counternarratives from Asian American Art Educators written by Ryan Shin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counternarratives from Asian American Art Educators: Identities, Pedagogies, and Practice beyond the Western Paradigm collects and explores the professional and pedagogical narratives of Asian art educators and researchers in North America. Few studies published since the substantial immigration of Asian art educators to the United States in the 1990s have addressed their professional identities in higher education, K-12, and museum contexts. By foregrounding narratives from Asian American arts educators within these settings, this edited volume enacts a critical shift from Western, Eurocentric perspectives to the unique contributions of Asian American practitioners. Enhanced by the application of the AsianCrit framework and theories of intersectionality, positionality, decolonization, and allyship, these original contributor counternarratives focus on professional and pedagogical discourses and practices that support Asian American identity development and practice. A significant contribution to the field of art education, this book highlights the voices and experiences of Asian art educators and serves as an ideal scholarly resource for exploring their identity formation, construction, and development of a historically underrepresented minoritized group in North America.
