Asian Pacific American Politics presents some of the most recent
research on Asian American politics, including both quantitative
and qualitative examinations of the role of Asian and Pacific
Islander Americans in some of today's major political
controversies. In the highly polarized politics of the United
States in the early 21st century, non-Black racial minorities such
as Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans will increasingly
find themselves swept into the epicenter of many of the divisive
controversies. This timely volume presents the latest scholarly
research on some of these issues, examining questions such as Asian
American support for #Black Lives Matter, responses to
racially-charged attacks, and the differences in the political
socialization, politicization, and community-based activism within
and across sectors of the Asian American population. In addition to
examining political identity, voting participation, political
mobilization, transnational politics, and partisan formation, the
volume also investigates important, but little discussed, issues
such as the Native Hawaiian sovereignty movement, political
incorporation of Filipino Americans, and the struggle to establish
"comfort women" memorials in the United States. Contributors also
examine, through dialogues, how Asian Americans fit into the larger
world of American racial politics, the extent to which they are
likely to build coalitions with other communities of color, and the
boundaries and contours of Asian American political theory.
Exploring and Expanding the Political World Pioneered by Don T.
Nakanishi, Asian Pacific American Politics will be of great
interest to scholars of race and ethnicity in American politics,
immigration and minority incorporation, ethnic identity politics,
and political participation and democratic inclusion of Asians. The
chapters were originally published in Politics, Groups, and
Identities.
