Recent discussions and dissemination of information regarding the
rapid growth of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) across
our nation are creating some awareness among administrators and
educators in higher education institutions regarding the extensive
diversity of AAPIs, the struggles of some AAPI populations in
pursuing and succeeding in higher education, and the lack of
support for their educational success. National discourse on AAPIs
among educators, policymakers and AAPI communities underscores the
need for more research-including more relevant research-that can
inform policy and practice that will enhance educational
opportunities for AAPIs who are underserved in higher education.
The book focuses on diverse topics, many of which do not appear in
the current literature. The chapters are authored by an array of
distinguished and emerging scholars and professionals at various
universities and colleges across the nation. The authors, whose
insights are invaluable in understanding the diverse issues and
characteristics that affect the educational success of underserved
AAPI students, and they represent the ethnicities and cultures of
Cambodian, Chinese, Guamanian/Chamorro, Filipino, Hispanic, Hmong,
Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Native Hawaiian, Okinawan, Samoan,
Vietnamese, and multiracial Americans. The authors not only
integrate theoretical concepts, statistical analyses, and
historical events, but they also merge theory and practice to
advocate for social justice for AAPIs and other underrepresented
and underserved ethnic minority groups in higher education.
