This guide is not a comprehensive list of research materials, but it will give you an overview of the sources you should consider as you plan your research, as well as some starting places for different materials. Planning an effective research strategy will be essential to the success of your paper since many of the familiar legal research tools, such as annotated codes, legal encyclopedias and West key numbers will not provide access to the best research materials for these issues. Your research will be highly interdisciplinary in nature and may lead you to materials in social sciences, economics, sociology, history and public policy, as well as law. Empirical data, such as income, population and/or immigration statistics may be relevant to your research and analysis. The web sites listed in this guide under "Journal Abstracts and Indexes"

The 60 poems presented here, 25 of them new, contain a family history of immigration, assimilation, and World War II experiences in the relocation camps. and Other Stories Peter Bacho "These tales, so disarming in their sense of humanity, so lovingly and engagingly narrated in a style which appears effortless, deal with the shadows the massive facts of emigration and identity cast over the lives of Filipino Americansa literary turf Bacho has made particularly his own. Here he moves with an inveigling confidence amongst lives caught between the raucous demands of modern America and the potent ghosts of ethnicity. It is a superb performance."Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler's List October 1997. 192 pp.

Extractions: serious academic interest in their history is a relatively recent phenomenon. The first generations of professional American historians either ignored them or demeaned them. After Asians were almost totally barred from immigrating to the United States in 1924, successor academic generations began to pay more attention, but they treated Asian Americans as victims of mob violence, unjust federal immigration statutes, and state laws and municipal ordinances limiting such choices as occupation and residence. Only recently have historians begun to see Asian Americans as subjects, rather than objects, of history.

The Co-optation Of Asian American Feminism Because manufacturers need to convince people to buy things they dont necessarilyneed, Asimilar trajectory lies in wait for Asian American feminism. http://www.zmag.org/zmag/articles/july95shah.htm
Extractions: from the pages of July/August 1995 The Co-optation of Asian American Feminism By Sonia Shah In recent years, mass media outlets have described the current state of gender relations as "post-feminist." In this post-feminist era, they say, feminist goals have become largely irrelevant and sexism as a social and political problem has been, for the most part, solved. Via the co-optation, commercialization, and ultimately, the subversion of feminist goals, mainstream commentators have successfully re-defined gender relations as something other than they are without widespread disbelief. Given the facts that patriarchy the cultural and institutional systems that privilege men over women still exists, and feminist activists around the country are still working to subvert patriarchy, the hailing of a "post-feminist" society is premature at best. Experience and studies show that women are poorer than men, earn less money than men, are beaten and raped by men, are harassed by men, and are demeaned and devalued by society. What the "post-feminist" era refers to is not a revolution in actual gender power relations, but rather a revolution in the representation of gender power relations. In the world created by advertising, fashion, news media, and the entertainment industry with notable exceptions women’s power is either equal to men’s, or if unequal, unequal in a way that is acceptable (annoying at worst) to women. In this media-created world, it’s easy for single women to raise children and hold down high powered jobs; working class battered women are funny and own big houses; women of color are rich and fashionable.

Extractions: This is a letter I wrote to my friend, "Kim" (a pseudonym) who is of "mixed race." She wrote me an e-mail letter earlier, and this was my response to it. Italics indicate parts of her letter that I included in my reply. I did not alter the text, though I edited it for the purpose of this paper. I feel that this is a good place to start my essay: Starting with my ethnic identity, and then discussing my gender and sexual identities. If you ever asked me, I'd say you're more Korean. I mean, "Korean-American." I tell people sometimes (half-jokingly) that you're the only Korean friend that I have. Which is sort of true, therefore sad at the same time: I never did have too many Korean friends. They always thought I was too weird or a reject. Even those Korean people that I talk to and sometimes hang out with, they're mostly all from our Korean church, and that's a weird relationship right there. ...
