In a series of essays based on original ethnographic research,
Pyong Gap Min and his contributors examine the unique identity
issues for second generation ethnic Asians, from Chinese, Japanese,
Filipino, Korean, Indian, and Vietnamese descent. They describe how
societal expectations and structural barriers have a powerful
influence on the formation of ethnic identities in a strongly
racialized American society. Key factors discussed are the
importance of culture and language retention, ethnic attachment,
transnational ties, pan-Asian coalitions and friendships, social
and geographic mobility, racial domination and racial awareness,
life cycle changes, immigrant women's sexuality and gender
traditionalism, deviant behavior, and educational and occupational
achievement. This book will be a valuable resource in the study of
Asian American culture, race, ethnicity and American society.
