Asian American women scholars experience shockingly low rates of
tenure and promotion because of the particular ways they are
marginalized by the intersectionalities of race and gender in
academia. Although Asian American studies critics have long since
debunked the model minority myth that constructs Asian Americans as
the ideal academic subject, university administrators still treat
Asian American women in academia as though they will simply show up
and shut up. Consequently, because silent complicity is expected,
power holders will punish and oppress Asian American women severely
when they question or critique the system. However, change is in
the air. Fight the Tower is a continuation of the Fight the Tower
movement, which supports women standing up for their rights to
claim their earned place in academia and to work for positive
change for all within academic institutions. The essays provide
powerful portraits, reflections, and analyses of a population often
rendered invisible by the lies that sustain intersectional
injustices in order to operate an oppressive system.
