This book is a collection of stories and reflections that represent
Chinese American leaders and depict their tortuous journeys in U.S.
higher education that comes at a critical point in time. Many
books have been devoted to academic leadership, but this volume
uniquely focuses on subjects most relevant to Chinese Americans. We
live at a time that not only witnesses an increase in Chinese
American leaders on U.S. campuses but also mounting incidents of
discriminatory treatment of this group. This book showcases 36
stories and reflections from past, present, and future leaders,
including the five previously published stories. They represent
leaders holding different ideological values in various academic
fields, positions, stages of careers, professional trajectories,
generations, and geographical locations. The Rise of Chinese
American Leaders in U.S. Higher Education makes a valuable
contribution to the body of literature that has assisted countless
academic leaders in navigating their careers, bringing to the
forefront a distinct group of academic leaders who have been
underrepresented.
Anthropological Contributions to Conflict Resolution consists of
ten essays that make vividly apparent the variety of ways that
anthropological approaches and perspectives can be of practical
worth in the resolution of conflicts. These essays represent
various subdisciplines in anthropology, including legal and
political anthropology, economic anthropology, cross-cultural
studies, interpretive approaches, and social network approaches.
Conflicts and potential conflicts at many levels are the subjects
of the essays. One contributor uses an ethnographic account of Sikh
separatists in Punjab, India, to explore fighting resulting from
the intertwining of religion and politics. Another essay discusses
the role that anthropology played in conceptualizing the legal
reforms on an island in the remote western Pacific in relation to
the recent emergence of alternative dispute resolution. Conflicts
over the commons in an American suburb are examined as are harmony
ideology and adversarial ideology as they are used for both freedom
and control at a manufacturing plant. The introductory essay
includes a discussion of network models in regard to conflict
resolution, and the epilogue cites an agenda for applied research
in the area.
