Killing the Model Minority Stereotype comprehensively explores the
complex permutations of the Asian model minority myth, exposing the
ways in which stereotypes of Asian/Americans operate in the service
of racism. Chapters include counter-narratives, critical analyses,
and transnational perspectives. This volume connects to overarching
projects of decolonization, which social justice educators and
practitioners will find useful for understanding how the model
minority myth functions to uphold white supremacy and how
complicity has a damaging impact in its perpetuation. The book adds
a timely contribution to the model minority discourse.

The model minority stereotype is a form of racism that targets
Asians and Asian-Americans, portraying this group as consistently
hard-working and academically successful. Rooted in media portrayal
and reinforcement, the model minority stereotype has tremendous
social, ethical, and psychological implications. Modern Societal
Impacts of the Model Minority Stereotype highlights current
research on the implications of the model minority stereotype on
American culture and society in general as well as Asian and
Asian-American populations. An in-depth analysis of current social
issues, media influence, popular culture, identity formation, and
contemporary racism in American society makes this title an
essential resource for researchers, educational administrators,
professionals, and upper-level students in various disciplines.
The United States is not post-racial, despite claims otherwise. The
days of lynching have been replaced with a pernicious modern racism
and race-based violence equally strong and more difficult to
untangle. This violence too often results in the killing of Black
Americans, particularly males. While society may believe we have
transcended race, contemporary history tells another story with the
recent killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and
others. While their deaths are tragic, the greater tragedy is that
incidents making the news are only a fraction of the assault on
communities of color in. This volume takes seriously the need for
concentrated and powerful dialogue to emerge in the wake of these
murders that illuminates the assault in a powerful and provocative
way. Through a series of essays, written by leading and emerging
academics in the field of race studies, the short "conversations"
in this collection challenge readers to contemplate the myth of
post-raciality, and the real nature of the assaults on communities
of color. The essays in this volume, all under 2000 words, cut to
the heart of the matter using current assaults as points of
departure and is relevant to education, sociology, law, social
work, and criminology.

Asian/Americans, Education, and Crime: The Model Minority as Victim
and Perpetrator analyzes Asian/Americans' interactions with the
U.S. criminal justice system as perpetrators and victims of crime.
This book contributes to a limited amount of scholarly writing so
that researchers, policymakers, and educators can gain a deeper and
more nuanced understanding of the relationship between
Asian/Americans and the criminal justice system. In reality,
Asian/Americans in the United States are both the victims of crime
and the perpetrators of crime. However, their characterization as
the "model minority" masks the victimization and violence they
experience in the twenty-first century.
