Interdisciplinary Studies

How do you provide your students with a strong background to better understand issues faced by Asian Americans?

• The concepts of race, class, and gender in the Asian American experience  are discussed throughout the text, to to give students a  better understanding of how these factors impact Asian American individuals, groups and communities.
• Various theoretical perspectives are addressed throughout the text to help students compare and contrast different theories—on topics such as immigration, immigrant adaptation and assimilation, ethnic entrepreneurship, educational achievement, ethnic identity, interracial marriage, and political incorporation, etc.
• Numerous tables highlight the most up-to-date collection of immigration, demographic, socioeconomic, and educational data on Asian Americans.
• Comparison of recent Asian immigrants with earlier immigrants—in socioeconomic background and adjustment to American society. This shows students that traditional concepts and theories may not apply to contemporary situations.

 Do you address current and historical issues facing Asian American's?

• A focus on the contemporary Asian American experience enables students to better comprehend the fundamental issues confronted by Asians in America today.
• Coverage of cutting-edge contemporary family issues—e.g., domestic violence; interracial marriage; biracial Asian Americans; and Gay and Lesbian Asian Americans.  Students are familiarized with the changing and new roles of Asian American families and identities.
• An entire chapter devoted to Asian American political empowerment analyzes of some of the most important national, state, and local elections, and their impact on Asian Americans.

How do you address the experiences of different Asian American ethnic groups?

• A balanced, comparative analysis of different Asian American ethnic groups, newer immigrants, and American-born Asians. This provides students with coverage of Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans, Asian Indians, and Southeast Asian immigrants and refugees.

Do you discuss the role of gender in your course? 

• The discussion of Asian American women considers how a variety of issues pertain to and impact this group.
