    Extractions: t was a low point in the University's history when, in 1987, some white male students spat on a couple of Asian American female students. But just over a decade later, a flourishing and steadily growing program in Asian American studies is a testament to the determination of faculty, students and administrators not to let racism triumph. In the 1980s, the University offered some courses about Asia, but there was little or nothing on Asians in America. After several years of advocacy by groups of faculty and students, in 1993 the University established both an Asian American Cultural Center and an Asian American Studies Institute. "We were born as a result of the tensions," says Roger Buckley, director of the Institute. The Asian American movement started in California in the 1960s, says Buckley, at about the same time many black studies programs were launched. To this day, the majority of Asian American studies programs are on the west coast. During the 1990s, however, such programs have also sprung up elsewhere. In the Northeast, for example, there are now programs at NYU, Cornell, and UMass-Boston, as well as UConn. Buckley says the growing number of Asian American students on many campuses has made a difference. "They are now the largest minority group," he says. "A major force in creating these programs is the students."

    Extractions: Yuh Ji-Yeon's Beyond the Shadow of Camptown: Korean Military Brides in America , centers on interviews with sixteen Korean women from among the nearly 100,000 who have married U.S. military servicemen and come to live in the United States since 1950. Korean "military brides" have played a primary but rarely acknowledged role in the establishment of Korean communities in the United States. They make up a significant proportion of Korean immigrants, particularly so before 1970, and have often been path-breaking immigration sponsors: human bridges enabling manifold kin to cross the Pacific. Yet these women remain stigmatized in Korean communities and marginalized in Asian American Studies scholarship. Yuh's book challenges the interested amnesia that tends to smooth over this ragged edge of Korean- and Asian American history. [End Page 109] Search Journals About MUSE Contact Us

Other Japan-occupied countries, including Taiwan, China, the Philippines, and Indonesia, served as sources for the remaining percentage.

    Extractions: However, there is a little twist to the scenario: They're both Americans of Japanese descent, and this love scene is taking place behind barbed wire. Two years earlier, over 120,000 American citizens of Japanese ancestry were uprooted from their homes and incarcerated in 10 concentration camps spread out in the most desolate parts of the United States. All because of "looking like the enemy." To further prove their loyalty, many Japanese-American men ("Nisei," or second-generation, as they were called) volunteered to join the Army in what became the 100th/442 Regimental Combat Team. Though they helped win the war on the European front and became the most decorated American military unit during World War II, they were also the most decimated, losing more than two-thirds of their regiment.

    Extractions: pdf version Mrs. FEINSTEIN: Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the millions of Americans of Asian and Pacific heritage for their significant contributions and service to strengthen this great nation, and to join the Nation in celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. First I would like to take this opportunity to recall the pioneers of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Through their vision and leadership, Frank Horton, Norman Y. Mineta, Daniel Inouye, and Spark Matsunaga successfully empowered Asian and Pacific Islander Americans by establishing a period of celebration that recognized the many contributions Asian and Pacific Islanders have made for over a century. They chose May to commemorate Asian Pacific Heritage Month because that is when the first Japanese immigrants came to the United States in 1843. It is also the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869. I want to pay particular tribute to the thousands of Asian Americans serving in our armed forces and thank them for their invaluable service for defending our country and securing freedom abroad.

Conclusion Throughout the twentieth century, the American military has brought together cultural, religious, and racial groups even when civilian life has been characterized by considerable prejudice towards such groups. Indeed, military integration has often proceeded at a faster pace than civilian integration. Consider five examples from the past century: At the beginning of the twentieth century, tensions between Catholics and Protestants were extremely high, anti-immigrant sentiment was at its peak, and marriages across ethnic and religious lines were rare. Native-born Americans fled their neighborhoods as immigrants moved in while Irish, Jews, and Italians fled from one another. Despite these hostilities in the civilian world, the military placed foreign-born soldiers from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds into integrated units during World War I. "It is not the policy of the United States Army," wrote Brigadier General Harvey Jervey, "to encourage or permit the formation of distinctive brigades, regiments, battalions or other organizations composed exclusively or primarily of members of any race, creed, political or social group." The policy worked. According to one distinguished historian, "Many regiments drew on servicemen from every region of the country and from every religion and European nationality. Sometimes together for as long as four years, these units became extraordinary vehicles for melding the many streams of Euro-Americans into one."

    Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations Reader's Companion to U.S. Women's History American women have participated in military operations since the American Revolution, although sometimes in disguise, often without uniforms, and they typically were dismissed once the war was over. In some Native American tribes, women accompanied men to war. White women were allowed inside the regular ranks of the U.S. government's military only in World War I. The WACs, WAVEs, and SPARs of World War II were disbanded in the 1970s. In the mid-1990s women compose a high percentage of the U.S. military's total uniformed personnel during peacetime—11.8 percent in 1993. The armed forces also include a high proportion of women of color. While women of all ethnic and racial backgrounds have participated in the armed forces in the past, the 1990s mark the first time that tens of thousands of African American, Latina, Asian American, and Native American women wear the U.S. military uniform, follow orders, and give orders. By 1993 Hispanic women made up 5.2 percent of all women in all three branches on active duty, while Asian American and Native American women together composed 4.4 percent of the women in all three branches. Notably, the Defense Department's 1993 figures about African American women showed that they compose 33.6 percent of all active-duty women and 48 percent of the total 59,668 enlisted women serving in the army. This is a stunning figure to consider, when in the U.S. population, African American women constitute only 12 percent of all women.

Ric Shinseki is a great soldier and leader who brings tremendous experience to his position," said Army Secretary Louis Caldera.
