"Myth or Reality" presents in simple language the case of Asian
Americans in California. Case studies and episodes are presented in
a theoretical context of language minority students' adjustment to
mainstream cultures. The high levels of expectation and the
achievement motivation of many Asian Americans has added to the
myth of success of all Asian populations in the United States. The
authors use data that calibrates the differential success of
various Asian populations, and the need to assist those who are
less successful. Asian minorities at risk, the role of teachers in
preventing delinquency, and the recommendations to teachers bring
the book to practical concerns of educators and policy makers. It
is aimed at undergraduate courses in education, anthropology,
sociology, political science and psychology.
