Extractions: Introduction Rationale for Multiethnic Literature in the Classroom Characteristics of Good Multiethnic Literature History of Asian American Literature ... Movies Asian American literature is a growing new field. It is considered one of the subdivisions of multicultural literature. The literature today like the Joy Luck Club are best sellers in the book market and there is a growing demand for more. The Asian population of the United States today continues to rapidly increase and they constitute about 2.9% of the total American population. According the 1990 census, the largest Asian minority in the United States are the Chinese Asian population. Of that percentage, Chinese is the largest with a largest percentage being foreign born. The second largest group is the Filipino which constitute 19%. Japanese make up 12% with most of them being native born. Indian and Korean each are at 11% and Vietnamese make up 8% of the population. Another subgroup of Asians includes the Hmong (mung) which are a culture group that immigrated 5,000 years ago from China to the mountainous region of Laos, but many were forced out of their territory during the Vietnam War because they helped the United States during the conflict.

Extractions: BY BARBARA PALMER Wang Du's sculpture Youth with Slingshot , modeled on a news photograph of a Chinese protester outside the American Embassy in Beijing reacting against the 1999 NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, has a prominent place near the entrance of On the Edge: Contemporary Chinese Artists Encounter the West at the Cantor Arts Center. Like the figure in Wang's sculpture, many of the dozen artists who contributed works to the exhibit take precise aim at their subjects. One target is particularly close to home. Huang Yong Ping's 1/4 Hoover Tower is a wooden representation of the campus landmark installed in the center's lobby. Huang, a founding member of a Chinese Dadaist group who now lives in Paris, used a staple gun to cover the nearly 19-foot-high structure with red, white and blue-striped plastic, a material widely used by the construction industry in China. Cut-out openings allow visitors to look inside the installation, empty except for two sentences on the inside walls: "A ton of food for a pound of history? Or a pound of explosives in exchange for a ton of history?" According to the artist, the inscription is based on a statement former university president Ray Lyman Wilbur made about Herbert Hoover, who, as head of the American Relief Organization, organized shipments of food to be sent to Europe and Soviet Russia after World War I. "Hoover is the greatest packrat of all times because, whenever he leaves a ton of food, he picks up a pound of history," Wilbur said.

Extractions: 1848. On January 24, 1848, James Marshall discovered gold at Sutter's Mill near present-day Sacramento, California. Did you know Sacramento is the capital of California? This was the start of the California Gold Rush. Thousands of men rushed to California, and hundreds of mining camps were formed in the Sierra Nevada foothills. People were coming to California from all parts of the United States, Europe, Australia, and China. They came with the notion of striking it rich, and then returning to their families as wealthy people. Did you know the Chinese nicknamed California Gum Sann?

Extractions: The Chinese in California, 1850-1925 About the Collection The Chinese in California 1850-1925 is a compilation of selected holdings from collections housed in the archives and special collections of The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley; The Ethnic Studies Library, University of California, Berkeley; and the California Historical Society, San Francisco. Presenting approximately 8000 images, this virtual archive makes accessible material related to the history of the Chinese people in California between 1850 and 1925. The materials were selected to illustrate broad topical themes: For a brief essay on each theme, see The materials selected are drawn from a variety of archival collections, compiled by institutions and libraries with varying missions. Many of the collections have distinctive histories of their own. In some cases entire collections have been included; more often a selection of materials relating to the Chinese in California has been selected from a collection with broader scope. It is our hope that The Chinese in California presents a balanced perspective on a tumultuous and changing history of this community in California. Major issues explored in these records include the Chinese contribution to California and the American West in the 19th and early 20th centuries; the rampant anti-Chinese sentiment encountered by these immigrants, eventually leading to the federal Chinese Exclusion Act of 1892 (repealed in 1943); and settlement and development in various communities, including San Francisco's Chinatown, which remains the largest Chinatown in the United States.

Extractions: A S A LITERARY REGION From the earliest days of settlement, this has been a region of abundance, of excess, of high energy. It has also been a region of tremendous variety in ethnic origins and religious beliefs, as well as in terrain and resources, that kind of uncontainable variety that resists all patterns. Like the life out west, literature now is moving in all directions at once. This is due partly to the so-called open society for which the Far West is notorious and partly to the multitude of writers. It happens that more writers live along the West Coast than in any other part of the United States, outside the Boston-New York-Washington megalopolis. Thus much literature is pro- duced here. Not all of it deals with the region. Many writers choose to live near the Pacific Coast, drawn by the climate or the movies or a campus job or the available space, but write about other climes, other cultures, sometimes other planets and other galaxies. In the midst of this literary abundance, a sizable body of work has emerged from the experience of the West Coast, from the terrain, from the legends, from the dreams dreamed and the lives lived, some of it from writers who are native to the coastal states, some from writers who have lived there a while and have also in some way incorporated this experience into their writing. Alice Adams, for example, is a southerner by birth, from North Carolina by way of Virginia. Since the early 1950s she has lived in San Francisco, and some of her strongest work, such as the stories in

Americans from all parts of the country have a different definition of what defines the region. Even those who consider themselves westerners probably wouldn't agree on what the West is, needless to say where it is. Americans have even more contentious debates over what constitutes western history. To some, the West created the ideal Independent Americanbe he a mountain man, farmer, cowboy, or outlawwho prospered without interference from the pesky federal government. To others, Western history is best defined by the very domination of the federal government. If most Americans can't seem to agree on what or where the West is today, it wasn't so different in the past. Debates over the nature and character of the American West have played a large role in shaping the history of the region.

Frank Baum, "solely to pleasure children of today." But, published in 1900, it was more than a child's story. It reflected the historical circumstances that swirled around Baum, like the Kansas winds that swept Dorothy and Toto to Munchkin country. Born in central New York in 1856, Baum grew up in a well-to-do home, spent most of his life in Chicago, and moved to Hollywood, where he died in 1919. In writing children's stories, according to his publicist, Baum sought to move away from a European motif and create a distinctively American genre. Kansas provided that most American of places for Baum.
