Ling Essay: Teaching The American Literatures I find it useful to begin my Introduction to asian American literature classes as far east as the Bering Strait, and as far south as the indian Ocean; 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

Extractions: As the crowd entered the Donald A. Seawell Grand Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts for Celebrate India 2000, the diversity of Asian Americans attending was immediately noticeable and impressive. The largely Asian American crowd was made up of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Laotian, Taiwanese, Thai, Vietnamese and others in addition to South Asians. Like many recent Asian activities and events in the past several years, Asian Americans are supporting other Asian Americans in their programs and other endeavors. The success of the Asian Film Festival in Aurora is another recent example. This event was the culmination of a vision held by a number of community leaders. The Kindred Spirits Council, a volunteer organization dedicated to infusing the diversity of cultural perspectives into DCPA programming, endorsed Celebrate India 2000. Patty Coutts, an Asian representative on Kindred Spirits Council, believed that it was time for Asian Americans to be recognized as an important cultural aspect of the Denver metroplex and of Colorado. She encouraged Purnima Voria, Past President of the India Association, to organize an event. The first thing Voria did was to establish a Pan-Asian Celebrate India 2000 Committee. Lester Ward, President of DCPA, worked closely with this group and committed DCPA resources to Celebrate India 2000.

Extractions: An online database of news about workers in Southeast Asia and China and the issues that affect them Main "This port city, home to old petrochemical plants, shipbuilders and machine factories, has seen the future: outsourcing. Now its challenge is to get the future to come to Dalian." Like much of China these days, the city has no time for patience. To hurry the process along, it's expanding its four-year-old Software Park by more than five times. It's offering five-year tax breaks, stepping up computer and language education and has just announced it will pay bonuses to the most desirable workers. In short, Dalian aspires to become the Bangalore of northeast Asia as soon as possible. Mayor Xia Deren has visited the Indian city, a top outsourcing destination for American firms. Far from being intimidated at its success, he brims with confidence. "I think it's very possible for Dalian to even surpass Bangalore," he said in an interview. "We are not inferior to Bangalore in investment environment and infrastructure, and the Chinese government has better management ability." Already, with its temperate climate, pleasant coastline and clean, lawn-lined roads, Dalian has attracted thousands of Japanese companies and more and more American ones. Its proximity to Japan and South Korea and its cheap labor force offer advantages over India. IBM Corp., Dell Inc., and General Electric Co. have set up call centers or other operations.
