Although it is one of the least-known social movements of the
1960s and 1970s, the Asian American movement drew upon some of the
most powerful currents of the era, and had a wide-ranging impact on
the political landscape of Asian America, and more generally, the
United States. Using the racial discourse of the black power and
other movements, as well as antiwar activist and the global
decolonization movements, the Asian American movement succeeded in
creating a multi-ethnic alliance of Asians in the United States and
gave them a voice in their own destinies.
Rethinking the Asian American Movement provides a short,
accessible overview of this important social and political
movement, highlighting key events and key figures, the movement's
strengths and weaknesses, how it intersected with other social and
political movements of the time, and its lasting effect on the
country. It is perfect for anyone wanting to obtain an introduction
to the Asian American movement of the twentieth century.
