"Contemporary Issues in Southeast Asian American Studies" is the
first anthology to critically examine Southeast Asian Americans and
their communities. It offers contemporary perspectives of renowned
Southeast Asian American scholars to complement insightful
primary-source documents. Together, these selections highlight
Southeast Asian American experiences from interdisciplinary and
cross-cultural comparative approaches, and explore such topics and
themes as: history, cultural productions, political activism and
apathy, and economic and social integration. The essays are written
in clear, jargon-free language accessible to undergraduate
students, and each is followed by pedagogically engaging and
provocative discussion questions. Students are encouraged to not
only identify challenges and struggles but also to devise solutions
to the difficult topics discussed in each chapter.
