Asian American Studies College of Ethnic Studies Undergraduate Programs The Asian American Studies Department, the largest of four departments in the College of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University, was established in fall 1969 as a result of the Third World Student Strike. The Department currently consists of five Asian American ethnic units: Chinese American, Filipino American, Japanese American, Korean American, and Vietnamese American. It is a full service academic unit that offers a comprehensive program of study on the Asian American experience with a commitment to serving the University, its students, and the Asian American communities. At present, the Department offers fifty sections of classes taught by a faculty of twenty-plus to approximately two thousand students each semester. Students may take Asian American Studies courses for a baccalaureate major or minor, and to partially fulfill Liberal Studies major, general education, and University statutory graduation requirements. A master's degree program is pending final approval from the California State University Chancellor's Office. In 1994, the Asian Pacific American Education Advisory Committee of the Chancellor's Office recognized and acknowledged the Asian American Studies Department at San Francisco State University as an "exemplary" program.

Mammogram Brochure Available in 3 Asian Languages Did you know that breast cancer is on the rise for women of Asian and Pacific Islander descent living in the United States? Yet Asian and Pacific Islander women over age 40 get mammograms less often than other groups of women in the U.S. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recommends that women in their 40s and older get a mammogram every 1 to 2 years. NCI, in cooperation with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), produced a new brochure about the importance of mammograms called "Do it For Yourself, Do it For Your Family."

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Snapshot of Departmental Programs Affecting Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders MANDATE: The Department of Health and Human Services is the United States government's principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves. Overview of HHS HHS is the largest grant-making agency in the Federal government, providing some 60,000 grants per year. The HHS budget for FY 2000 is $395 billion, and the total number of HHS employees is 61,654. The Department's Medicare program is the nation's largest health insurer, handling more than 900 million claims per year. HHS works closely with state, local, and tribal governments, and many HHS-funded services are provided at the local level by state, county or tribal agencies, or through private sector grantees. The Department's programs are administered by 11 HHS operating divisions, with leadership provided by the Office of the Secretary (OS). In addition to the services they deliver, the HHS programs provide for equitable treatment of beneficiaries nation wide, and they enable the collection of national health and other data.

45. Health Care Quality: Researchers Are Developing And Testing An Instrument To Exa to develop a culturally sensitive questionnaire for use in evaluating the qualityof health care provided to asian americans of Chinese and vietnamese descent. http://www.ahcpr.gov/research/dec00/1200RA17.htm

Researchers are developing and testing an instrument to examine quality of care for Chinese and Vietnamese Americans Over the past three decades, immigration to the United States of Asian Americans has risen by more than 400 percent. In fact, Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing minority groups in the country. Cultural beliefs, as well as linguistic and other barriers, make providing quality care for Asian Americans a unique challenge. A study supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS01316) is now under way to develop a culturally sensitive questionnaire for use in evaluating the quality of health care provided to Asian Americans of Chinese and Vietnamese descent. These patients include many new immigrants who have a low income and limited English proficiency. Deeply held cultural beliefs can present barriers to quality health care, especially if providers lack sensitivity to these concerns. Also, the health beliefs of Asian Americans are unfamiliar to many American clinicians. For example, many Asian Americans believe that health reflects the balance of yin and yang, hot and cold elements, within the body. When experiencing an upper respiratory infection, they may follow the traditional custom of rubbing the body with oil and a coin to release the "cold" element, which may result in bruises along the spine and sternum. Western health care providers often mistake these bruises for indications of abuse or signs of hematologic diseases. To care for these patients effectively, providers must be able to communicate with them about such practices.

Asian Americans by M. Lal Goel, PhD, University of West Florida lgoel@uwf.edu The history of mankind is a saga of migrations. Several centuries after the dawn of civilization, humans numbered only a few million. Today the population is nearly 6 billion. Homo sapiens now occupy almost all of the terrestrial globe except for the polar reaches. Humans migrate for a variety of reasons; e.g., environmental deterioration, political and religious persecution, economic hardship and a sense of adventure. A few examples will suffice to provide elaboration for these causes of migration. Environmental deterioration has been a major factor in the movement of people. The area now occupied by the sands of the Sahara was once lush, green, productive, and occupied by a substantial population. Desiccation occurred, water courses shriveled, trees died, the topsoil blew away, and the people left. The earliest settlers in America the Indians migrated from the Orient because of severe climatic changes. When glaciers advanced, the sea level fell, and the shallow waters of the Bering Strait became a land corridor which allowed Asians to walk to North America. Columbus 'rediscovered' America in 1492. Just as environmental austerity or opportunity may facilitate migration so will man's inhumanity to man. The Pilgrims who landed in Plymouth, MA in 1620 came to America to avoid religious persecution in England and to worship according to their belief. In our time, political persecution has replaced religious persecution as a spur to migration. Most 20th Century migrations have been caused by tyrannical regimes. The extreme right and the extreme left are equally intolerant to human rights.

Beginning Library Research on ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES Stanford University Libraries contain many titles on the historical and contemporary experience of Asian Americans, making it an excellent place for students conducting research in this area. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of Asian American, relevant titles are often dispersed throughout the general collection depending upon subject matter. Use Socrates , Stanford's online catalog to to locate books and other materials. Use the library's print or electronic indexes to locate journal and newspaper articles and published papers. Socrates can tell you what library materials Stanford owns and where they are located, allowing you to search by author, title, call number, organization, or subject. When searching Socrates , it helps to know the Library of Congress Subject Headings. One method of identifying the subject headings is to check the Library of Congress Subject Headings bound volumes. Another (online) method is to locate material you know is on your topic by doing an author (A) and/or title (T) search. Then look at the full display to see what

ASIAN AMERICAN DEMOGRAPHICS AA FORUMS COMMENT ON AN ARTICLE CONTACT US No part of the contents of this site may be reproduced without prior written permission. GOLDSEA ASIAN AMERICAN DEMOGRAPHICS Parsing Asian America PART 3 OF 4 VIETNAMESE AMERICANS Vietnamese immigration was little more than a trickle of warbrides and orphans until 1970 when it began building rapidly through the fall of Saigon in 1975. After that it swelled with tens of thousands admitted under refugee provisions enacted hastily to help save a half million South Vietnamese fleeing in tiny fishing boats. At its peak in the midto-late-70s, an average of 120,000 entered each year. By 1997 the number had dropped slightly below 40,000. Of the five major Asian American groups, Vietnamese have the highest F.O.B. ratio, 33% having immigrated during the past 10 years. As a consequence, 23% of Vietnamese households live below the poverty level, the highest rate among Asian groups. But 88% of families that had immigrated during the 1970s and 80s have graduated into the middle class and higher. Thanks to intense focus on education and achievement, a rapdily growing proportion of established Vietnamese Americans are now moving into professional, managerial and entrepreneurial positions, especially in the hi-tech sector. For the past five years Vietnamese have formed the backbone of Silicon Valley's engineering and skilled technical labor force. For at least the next decade or two the recent normalization of U.S. relations with Vietnam and the poverty and lack of prospects in that nation will contribute to continued high levels of Vietnamese immigration. By 2010 Vietnamese Americans will surpass all Asian groups except Chinese in population. The downside of that rapid growth is that Vietnamese Americans will continue to have the largest share living below the poverty line.

" TARGET="_blank"> " BORDER=0> GOLDSEA ASIAMS.NET ASIAN AMERICAN ISSUES Is Seattle a Haven for Asian Americans? (Updated Wednesday, Apr 09, 2003, 09:14:12 AM) he Seattle-Bellevue-Everett area is only 11th largest in the size of its Asian American population (285,000, or about 11.4% of the area's 2.5 million), but it claims one of the oldest and richest slices of Asian American history. Its Chinatown was home to America's first Asian-owned manufacturing business, the Wa Chong Co. The company produced, among other things, a very fine grade of opium, some of which was probably exported to China with the U.S. government's blessings. Best city for AA? Since its birth in 1910 Seattle's atmospheric International District was settled by generations of Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and Vietnamese immigrants. In the late 70s the aging District began enjoying a rebirth into its modern incarnation thanks to Asian American activism in seeking to preserve it as a historical and cultural site. More recently an influx of trendy young AA professionals, entrepreneurs and artists has helped transform it into a vibrant part of downtown Seattle's cultural and night life. The District hosts the Northwest Asian American Theater Company and the Wing Luke Asian American Museum, named after a Chinese American elected to the Seattle City Council in 1965. On the far end of the Seattle area's cultural spectrum is lush, ultra-modern Bellevue, one of the nation's most affluent communities. Asians make up 20.3% of the students of the Bellevue School District, thrice the 7.3% concentration in the general population of Washington state. This points up the fact that Seattle hosts one of the nation's best established Asian populations. Unlike some urban areas dominated by one or two Asian nationalities, Seattle's AA population is highly diversified, comprising the nations 7th largest Japanese (31,000), the 8th largest Vietnamese (44,000), 9th largest Corean (38,000), and the 11th largest Chinese (58,000) and Filipino (53,000) communities.

As members of the Southeast Asian American community, we know better than to accept the "model minority" image of Asian Americans. We see all around our communities the constant struggles that our families and friends face with difficulties in language, education, and employment. SEARAC wants to work with other organizations to ensure that issues that concern Southeast Asians are not buried underneath the gloss of the "model minority image." For example, we need to draw attention to the fact that 43% of Cambodians and 65% of Hmong in this country live in poverty; Vietnamese American women are five times more likely than European American women to suffer from cervical cancer; and over 60% of Hmong Americans live in "linguistically isolated" households.

Asian Americans People from Asia have been migrating to the United States for nearly 200 years now. The first Asian immigrants came from China, and they were brought over by American companies seeking cheap laborers. Early Asian immigrants, mostly Chinese and Japanese, were met with resentment and racism by whites in the U.S. In addition to violent attacks, early Asian immigrants were subjected to a long list of anti-Asian legislation. One of the effects of this legislation was to make it nearly impossible for any new immigrants from Asia to come to the United States for nearly a century until the mid-1960s. As a result, the vast majority of the Asian-Pacific American population has come to the United States during the past four decades. As with the other groups of racial categorization, the race “Asian” is problematic. It is based largely on geography, rather than on the race of the people. For instance, people from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India do not racially look like people from China, Japan, and Vietnam but are categorized in the same race because of their geography.
