Until the political ferment of the Long Sixties, there were no
Asian Americans. There were only isolated communities of mostly
Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos lumped together as "Orientals."
Serve the People tells the story of the social and cultural
movement that knit these disparate communities into a political
identity, the history of how-and why-the double consciousness of
Asian America came to be. At the same time, Karen Ishizuka's vivid
narrative reveals the personal epiphanies and intimate stories of
insurgent movers and shakers and ground-level activists alike.
Drawing on more than 120 interviews and illustrated with striking
images from guerrilla movement publications, the book evokes the
feeling of growing up alien in a society rendered in black and
white, and recalls the intricate memories and meanings of the Asian
American movement. Serve the People paints a panoramic landscape of
a radical time, and is destined to become the definitive history of
the making of Asian America.
