O knihe

A volume in Research on the Education of Asian Pacific Americans
Series Editors Clara C. Park, California State University, Northridge,
Russell Endo, University of Colorado, and Xue Lan Rong, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
(Sponsored by SIG-Research on the Education of Asian and Pacific Americans
of the American Educational Research Association and National Association
for Asian and Pacific American Education)
Asian American Education--Asian American Identities, Racial Issues, and Languages
presents groundbreaking research that critically challenges the invisibility, stereotyping, and
common misunderstandings of Asian Americans by disrupting "customary" discourse and
disputing "familiar" knowledge. The chapters in this anthology provide rich, detailed evidence
and interpretations of the status and experiences of Asian American students, teachers, and
programs in K-12 and higher education, including struggles with racism and other race-related
issues. This material is authored by nationally-prominent scholars as well as highly-regarded
emerging researchers. As a whole, this volume contributes to the deconstruction of the image of Asian Americans as a model minority
and at the same time reconstructs theories to explain their diverse educational experiences. It also draws attention to the cultural and
especially structural challenges Asian Americans face when trying to make institutional changes.
This book will be of great interest to researchers, teachers, students, and other practitioners and policymakers concerned with the
education of Asian Americans as well as other peoples of color.
