Recommended Asian American Literature - Grades 9-12 Non-Fiction: History Gage, Susan. Colonialism in Asia: A Critical Look Victoria, Canada: Victoria International Development Education Association. (1993). 52 pp. Format: paperback; Ethnicity: Pan-Asian This comic book presents a serious subject in an engaging format – a series of cartoons that illustrate the causes and effects of colonialism in India, Vietnam and the Philippines. Its nine chapters examine the motives of European colonialism, the means by which it developed, and its current ramifications in Asia. The comic book provides an excellent framework for analyzing colonialism and its effects on the government, economy and social structure of each country. In addition, the cartoons connect the development of colonialism with current problems in the former colonies (e.g. the rise of multinational corporations, military dictatorships). The book is presented in a useful format for teachers. Each chapter includes discussion questions that enable students to think deeper about colonialism and its effects. The last chapter includes classroom activities that supplement each previous chapter. Teachers are recommended to use the book alongside conventional textbooks to discuss bias in history, as the book’s bias against colonialism can be contrasted with the bias of textbook accounts.

According to the organizers, though APA artists are appearing in art galleries more frequently, photography is still relatively void of APAs. Many of the organizers and artists feel that galleries, rather than exhibiting talented emerging APA artists, promote Asian artists from Asia. Some of the photographers have been taking pictures since they were children. Walter Q. Chin remembers using his Dick Tracy camera while growing up in the Bronx. Other photographers began later: Sloat and Andrew Bui began shooting in their high school senior photo classes; Min Jung Kwak discovered photography after she had gone through a full undergraduate chemistry education in Korea, immigrated to Los Angeles and enrolled in classes at a community college. The exhibit is consciously an all-APA production, but many of the artists feel there is no essential APA photographer experience. This is the inherent paradox: AsianLens emphasizes the lack of an APA photography experience by doing an all-APA exhibit, featuring a large number of diverse pieces, razing any possibility of a universally shared experience.
