Extractions: For me, World War II is about sirens, dark cities and bomb shelters; little children being sent to the countryside for safety or **sokai**; the atomic bomb or **Pika**; sad news of Japan surrendering; Emperor Hirohito on the radio; disintegration of Imperial Japan; youth lost to the **Kamikaze Tokkoutai; "comfort women" of Korea and the Philippines; post-war hope in the voice of Misora Hibari; the baby boom era when my parents were born. These are the most relevant events during the war to me as a Japanese American. I was born in the U.S. and am of Japanese descent. That should be all the explanation I need in order to say I am a Japanese American. According to some sociologist who bought into the American obsession with categorization, I am not "Nisei." I am "Shin Nisei." Who is he to argue what these Japanese words mean when he can hardly think in Japanese? Japanese people in Japan certainly do not see any definition of age and generation in those words.

Extractions: The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is a prevention agency administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a health services agency within the Public Health Service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). CSAP's mission is to support, promote and advocate for the continuing development of comprehensive community, State, national and international prevention systems. CSAP has initiated a Community Partnership Training Project (CCPT) to assist Community Partnership grantees to support their efforts to reduce and prevent alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse in communities. At their meeting in October 1993, the Curriculum Design Team for the Asian and Pacific Islander Institute adopted as its guiding principal the premise that Asian and Pacific Islander communities should have political, economic and social equity. To begin to address the concerns and issues of Asians and Pacific Islanders related to alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse, the Institute was designed to move participants through a cycle of recognition of their individual and collective experiences and their role in U.S. history. The design of the training is made up of four stages: Healing, Cultural Pride, Capacity Building and Celebration. The concept behind this design is that in order for people who share a common ethnic, cultural and historical background to mobilize and empower themselves, they need to acknowledge the difficulty, suffering and injustice that is part of their experience to heal their wounds.

INTRODUCTION : Today, Asian Americans belong to the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. Kept out of the United States by immigration restriction laws in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Asians have recently been coming again to American. The 1965 Immigration Act reopened the gates to immigrants from Asia, allowing 20,000 immigrants from each country to enter every year. In the early 1990s, half of all immigrants entering annually are Asian. The growth of Asian-American population has been dramatic. In 1960, there were only 877,934 Asians in the United States, representing a mere 1% of American people. Thirty years later, they numbered about seven million or 3% of the population. They included 1,645,000 Chinese, and by the year of 2000, Asian Americans will probably represent 4% of the total United States population. In California, Asian Americans already make up 10% of the state's inhabitants, compared with 7.5% for African Americans. According to the 1990 census conducted by the U.S. government, plus some 400 thousand Chinese immigrants admitted to U.S. in the past four years, there are approximately two million ethnic Chinese residing in the United States today. The majority of the Chinese are first generation immigrants who came to this country mainly from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries in the past two decades.

Extractions: Postdoc Lili Kim Gives Talk on JA Internment and Korean Americans On May 8, 2002, Lili Kim, Ph.D., an Institute of American Cultures Postdoctoral Fellow, gave a talk sponsored by the UCLA Asian American Studies Center and Institute for American Cultures. Her talk, entitled "Fanning the Flames of Fear on the Homefront: Japanese American Internment and Moral Imagination of Korean Americans," explored the conspicuously ignored historical topic of the experience of non-Japanese Asian Americans on the homefront during World War II. Dr. Kim’s presentation addressed the Korean American responses to the internment of Japanese Americans and the limits of their moral imagination in framing their strategies to escape unscathed from racism on the homefront. Lili Kim received her Ph.D. in American History from the University of Rochester in New York, and has taught at the State University of New York at Buffalo, the University of Pennsylvania, and Hampshire College. Her article, "Redefining the Boundaries of Traditional Gender Roles: Korean Picture Brides, Pioneer Korean Immigrant Women, and Their Benevolent Nationalism in Hawai’i," will appear in , edited by Shirley Hune and Gail Nomura.

Extractions: Historical Comparisons: Ethnic Diversity in the U.S. Population, 1960 By Jen Wang Web Magazine ClassWeb Site My search for some seemingly straightforward and simple statistics turned into a complicated, strenuous quest for a historical document. I needed to find the percentage of the four racial groups in the U.S. - Whites, Latinos, Asians, and African Americans - in 1960 and then evaluate the information for accuracy. I began my research by attempting to download information and access government data files from the World Wide Web. My search ended in vain when all I retrieved were recent census and countless unrelated data bases. After making my way to the Young Research Library, I was informed that statistics of the US population would be found in the Census Bureau's publication of "Statistical Abstracts" stored in the Maps and Government Information section. I was able to obtain some information regarding the U.S. ethnic population in 1960 from the "1960 Population Census: U.S. Summary, Vol. I: Characteristics of the Population." The government agency responsible for administering the U.S. population census is the U.S. Census Bureau. Every 10 years the U.S. government mails out a questionnaire to every household which is to be returned at completion. As such, the accuracy of the findings from these census can be affected by various factors. First, the number of questionnaires actually returned to the Census Bureau by each household. Second, precision of questions which ultimately affects how each individual interprets and answers the questionnaire. And finally, the fluidity of human population. Human population is a constantly changing factor due the nature of human migration (which includes illegal immigrants and refugees).

Okamoto Younghee Lim and Stella M. Resko ... Kyu-taik Sung and Mee Hye Kim Social and Economic Inequality and Asian Americans in the United States Elizabeth A. Segal Arizona State University Abstract: In recent years, a number of Asian American scholars have attempted to incorporate Pacific Islanders into the Asian American rubric by coining the term Asian Pacific American. Using qualitative interview data, this paper suggests that by including Pacific Islanders into Asian American Studies, Asian American scholars have glossed over unique concerns pertinent to Pacific Islander communities. Specifically, this paper examines the identity constructions of Samoan adolescents that serve to perpetuate marginalization in the population, in order to illustrate the distinct differences between Pacific Island and Asian American youth. The article recommends that Pacific Islander communities be referenced independently under a more appropriate rubric identified by the population itself.

Extractions: They call themselves Generation A. Unlike Generation X, these twentysomething Asian-American student leaders say they have direction, ambition and purpose. Members of the Atlantic Coast Asian American Student Union gathered at UF this weekend for its ninth annual conference, in what they say is the region most often overlooked in its number of Asian residents. From throughout the southeastern United States, these students hope to bring recognition and respect to the growing population of Asians and Asian Americans in this part of the country. Conference director Lisa Gong, a UF decision and information sciences junior, said the ACAASU conference helps strengthen the organization through education. One of the attendees attested to Gong's words. "It seems like a lot of people that we bring to the workshops go back to school with something to share," said Ron Nakamoto, a business junior at the University of North Carolina - Wilmington.

Extractions: Softcover Edition For the 19th edition of the Encyclopedia of Social Work , the editorial board sought to collect the most current scholarly analyses of practice and research. Reflecting the breadth of the diverse social work profession, this edition also includes more-comprehensive entries than previous editions. The net effect is that this edition is more than 30 percent larger than the 18th edition, which was the largest collection when it was published in 1987. (See Table 1 for a comparison of the 18th and 19th editions.) The objective in assembling this substantial body of knowledge was to make it as easy to use as possible. Consequently, we have provided many different tools to help readers locate the references they seek. Casebound Edition CONTENT Attempting to develop the most comprehensive reference possible, the editorial board did not restrict authors to specific page limits; instead, the board sought the most information provided in the most succinct fashion possible. Consequently, entries are longer than those in previous editions. The editorial board also commissioned longer overview entries in major areas. Some overviews stand alone as the single exhaustive entry on the subject; others integrate a topic for which there are several other entries.

http://ericcass.uncg.edu/virtuallib/diversity/1078.html

Extractions: ERIC Clearinghouse on Urban Education There are an estimated 12 million Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (APIAs) in the United States, or about 4 percent of the total population (compared with African Americans, at 12 percent, and Latinos, at 11 percent). APIAs comprise one of the fastest growing groups in the nation; over the last decade there was a 69 percent growth in that population, and their number is expected to reach 20 million by 2020. Most APIAs reside in urban areas, but the differences among their various groups are often greater than their similarities. High fertility rates and the immigration of APIAs are major reasons for the anticipated increase in their number. Children are becoming an even more significant proportion of the APIA population, and will constitute an increasingly larger segment of the public school population. Schools will need to become knowledgeable about the unique qualities of APIA students and their families and respond to their special educational and social needs. This digest, drawn from the most recent statistics collected, including 2000 Census data where available, synthesizes information on Asian and Pacific Islander American children and their families. The digests goal is twofold: (1) to help educators working with this population better understand their backgrounds and living conditions, in order to provide the children with effective educational and other services and to communicate effectively and sensitively with their families; and (2) to help policy makers and program developers equitably allocate resources for these services based on accurate information about local concentrations of APIAs. A bibliography of the sources used here appears at the end of the digest for those interested in obtaining more data.

Extractions: UPA Research Collections Reviews Source: Journal of American History, June 1994 For several decades, sociolegal scholars have urged that we look at the law in action rather than simply the law on the books to capture the true significance and scope of policies embodied in statutes. The records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service reproduced in this series reveal just how important it is to examine the administration of law in assessing policies aimed at Asian immigrants. While Congress excluded Chinese laborers in 1882, the enforcement of the act remained a matter of intense, ongoing negotiation among administrative officials, diplomats, Chinese immigrants, Chinese Americans, and exclusionists. The Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization (as it was called in 1906) had a significant impact in determining the parameters of the Chinese exclusion policy and also in extending the policy of exclusion to other Asians Japanese, Asian Indians, and Koreans. The collection is organized according to file numbers and is relatively easy to use with the assistance of the printed guide. The guide provides a reel-by-reel index, with a brief description of the subjects covered in each file, and a general subject index, which is somewhat helpful though not very detailed.

Extractions: Some say there is no race in cyberspace, but in Nakamura's Cybertypes she references Sherry Turkle to have mentioned that there are multiple identities. In addition, there is a default "white" online being that the dominant race becomes the default for a person who does not announce their race online. Usually, when a person does not announce their race would be a less controversial situation. When race is included chatting online there are stereotypes and other bad connotations that go along with a many particular racial minority cultures. But how about whites? There are some negative stereotypes that go along with the default white as well. Having diversity and race can go with other issues. Maps of world layers get filled with all elements not efficient. People want to be individuals and some want to be collective individuals. There are choices in which a person can be represented. This further allows others to understand each other better. Asian American communities have drawn much closer to other Americans with this common interest they now share with the mainstream society. Thus, sports have been a great vehicle to eliminate at least part of the barrier that has historically alienated Asian Americans from the larger American society. Bringing people together has always been sports greatest gift and now that is shared with the Asian American extended family. The journey has just begun for Asian American Athletes who will succeed in bringing down the dominance.

For example, the experience of being displaced and dislocated for someone like Meena Alexander, who can return to India for periodic visits, is significantly different from the diasporic experience of a Vietnamese refugee like Mrs. L, whose rupture with the home country is permanent. (See Van Luu's "The Hardships of Escape for Vietnamese Women" for a moving description of Mrs. L's horrifying boat journey from Vietnam to a Malaysian refugee camp. ) 2. See Ronald Takaki's
