The Asian American activist and political communities viewed 1996
as a watershed year, in which the Democratic Party took seriously
its Asian American constituency until the "Asian Donorgate"
campaign finance controversy complicated that representation. In
the ensuing public discourse Chinese Americans, and by proxy all
Asian Americans, were depicted as foreigners subversively
attempting to buy influence with U.S. politicians. While neither
disputing nor confirming the guilt of the individuals charged in
this episode with raising illegal foreign campaign money, Racial
Politics in an Era of Transnational Citizenship highlights the
conflation of Asian transnational capital and government interests
with Asian Americans and the resulting racialization,
foreignization, and even criminalization of this large community.
Scholar Michael Chang asks, Will the perception of the Asian
American as the "perpetual foreigner" continue to reproduce itself
uncritically, heightening during times of media-supported
nationalism? This incisive work contributes greatly to current
debates on civil rights and on the meaning of "citizenship" and
"belonging" among a transnational community and in a globalized
world."
