Extractions: Kojiki , or Record of Ancient Matters , around 620. This work, along with the Nihongi written a few decades later, is the earliest account of both Japanese history and Japanese mythology. While both works borrow heavily from Chinese historiographical styles and in part from Chinese mythology and religion, from the Tokugawa period onwards both Japanese and Europeans have regarded these two works as the best source of indigenous Japanese literature. World Cultures Glossary History historiography , or "the writing of history." Early Japanese historiography is dominated by mythical tales and unverifiable events. The writers of early Japanese history are not concerned with verification in the same way the modern historians are; they are, rather, concerned with setting out the special character of Japanese culture in the Yamato and Nara periods. This special character is laid down in the mythological foundations of Japan and the Japanese people; both the Kojiki and the Nihongi compose narratives that make the Japanese a special people in creation with a special kinship to the creating goddess. The history of the Japanese becomes in these narratives the central events in human history and, like the historical writing in so many other cultures, including our own, the narratives create a myth that various developments in Japan are origins of practices throughout the human world.

Extractions: Activate your existing subscription so that we recognize your IP number ranges. Introduction: Asian Americans and Educational History Eileen H. Tamura "Asian American" is a relatively recent term that was first used by non-Asians and then adopted by Asian Americans themselves during the late 1960s in the heyday of ethnic and political activism that emerged on the heels of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements. Further energized by the anti-Vietnam War protests, activists in communities and on college campuses rejected the category of "Oriental" and instead self-identified as Asian American.

Ling Essay: Teaching The American Literatures I find it useful to begin my Introduction to asian American literature classes writers from three asian traditions chinese, japanese, and Filipino, http://www.georgetown.edu/tamlit/essays/asian_am.html
Extractions: I find it useful to begin my Introduction to Asian American literature classes with a discussion of terminology. First, I deconstruct the term oriental, explaining that as a signifier of someone or something of Asian origin it is no longer viable since it is burdened with all the negative connotations of inferiority, irrationality, and exoticism that Edward Said clearly delineated in his groundbreaking cultural history Orientalism. (NY: 1978) By contrast, the term Asian is a neutral geographical designation and therefore more acceptable. Next, I explore the rather fluid boundaries of the terms Asian, American, and literature. Asia, as the world's largest continent, stretches from what used to be the U.S.S.R, west of the Ural Mountains, as far east as the Bering Strait, and as far south as the Indian Ocean; it is separated from Africa by the Suez Canal, includes all of the Middle East as well as the islands of the South Pacific. However, the boundaries of Asia as employed by scholars of Asian American literature have been much more limited, focused primarily on writers of so-called East Asian origins. [East Asia is only east in relation to Europe, of course; from an American perspective, China, Japan, and Korea are the Near West.] Kai-yu Hsu and Helen Palubinskas, editors of the first anthology in the field
