The Model Minority Stereotype Reader - Critical and Challenging Readings for the 21st Century (Paperback)

This collection focuses on Asian Americans as a frequently overlooked ethno-racial and ethno-cultural group, examining how stereotypes about Asian Americans are harmful both to students and their teachers. The material helps students gain a deeper understanding of the model-minority stereotype and its implications. The first three sections address academic achievement; myths surrounding Asian-American parenting; and sexualization, athleticism, and racialization. The fourth section, devoted to counter-narratives, discusses neocolonialist attitudes, unrealistic expectations, and the idea of the perpetual foreigner. Questions following each chapter can be tailored to undergraduate and graduate audiences for classroom discussion or as written assignments. With contributions from notable scholars who have researched and written extensively on the topic, The Model Minority Stereotype Reader provides the first comprehensive exploration of Asian American stereotypes and their impact on student populations.
