The political ferment of the 1960s produced not only the Civil
Rights Movement but others in its wake: women's liberation, gay
rights, Chicano power, and the Asian American Movement. Here is a
definitive history of the social and cultural movement that knit a
hugely disparate and isolated set of communities into a political
identity--and along the way created a racial group out of
marginalized people who had been uncomfortably lumped together as
Orientals. The Asian American Movement was an unabashedly radical
social movement, sprung from campuses and city ghettoes and allied
with Third World freedom struggles and the anti-Vietnam War
movement, seen as a racist intervention in Asia. It also introduced
to mainstream America a generation of now internationally famous
artists, writers, and musicians, like novelist Maxine Hong
Kingston. Karen Ishizuka's definitive history is based on years of
research and more than 120 extensive interviews with movement
leaders and participants. It's written in a vivid narrative style
and illustrated with many striking images from guerrilla movement
publications. Serve the People is a book that fills out the full
story of the Long Sixties.
