Part 3. CROSSING THE CONTINENT, CROSSING THE PACIFIC In Production - 2000 The American people know that the Chinese people built the railroad. And often that's the one and only thing they know. And that's exactly the problem." -Professor Patricia Limerick The third program in the series begins in the 1860s and ends in the 1930s when other key Asian groupsJapanese, Asian Indians, Koreans and Filipinoshave arrived and settled in America, and the second generation of Chinese immigrants is establishing itself. Program 3 starts with a revealing look at the Chinese role and sacrifices in building the western half of the monumental Transcontinental Railroad. Their actual experience is a part of our history which is not commonly known today. Here, the Chinese were 80 - 90% of the workforce and built one of the most difficult parts of the railroad, over the Sierra Nevada mountain range. They were forced to work from sun up to sun down, labor in very dangerous conditions, and sleep in tents in the middle of winter, without any protection against the cold or avalanches which swept whole camps down mountainsides. "That famous picture for the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad where the Golden Spike is about to be hammered in....Many have noted that the Chinese are not there. So you have what seems to be a strange and sad irony that the Chinese did the labor and they're not in the picture."

Home REPORTS OF THE 1998 ASA DELEGATES TO THE JAPANESE ASSOCIATION FOR AMERICAN STUDIES I. GARY OKIHIRO My visit to Japan was overall a wonderfully enriching experience. The arrangements overall (and these were quite complicated) were managed with care and were excellent, my varied venues in terms of places and audiences helped me learn about American Studies in Japan and in different contexts, and many of my contacts renewed friendships and initiated new relationships. I can not thank enough Hiroko Sato, coordinator of our visit and now JAAS president, the JAAS members who hosted us and made us feel at home, the USIS officers who planned my (and Mary Helen's) Okinawa visit and my lecture to the Asian American Literature Society at Kobe Women's University, and my many friends and colleagues who welcomed me. I thought the visit was spectacularly successful. My lecture at Tokyo University, held the day after the JAAS meeting in Chiba, was a highlight of my tour. Besides renewing old friendships, I spoke to a packed room of faculty and graduate students who shared an interest in American and Asian American Studies. Many in that room were familiar with my books, and the discussion was electric, I thought, over the issue of American Studies's relations with Ethnic Studies. I found my Japanese colleagues well attuned to many of the nuances and politics surrounding the topic.

83. American Diversity And The 2000 Census The most striking aspect of the American census of 2000 as of the few before Hawaiian, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Asian Indian, Samoan, Guamanian, http://www.thepublicinterest.com/archives/2001summer/article1.html

Archived Issue - Summer 2001 American Diversity and the 2000 Census By Nathan Glazer The 2000 census, on which the Census Bureau started issuing reports in March and April of 2001, reflected, in its structure and its results, the two enduring themes of American racial and ethnic diversity, present since the origins of American society in the English colonies of the Atlantic coast: first, the continued presence of what appears to be an almost permanent lower caste composed of the black race; and second, the ongoing process of immigration of races and peoples from all quarters of the globe, who seem, within a few generations, to merge into a common American people. The first census The distinction makes itself evident in the very history and structure of the census, and in the character of the data that it first presents to the public today. In the first census of 1790, required for purposes of apportionment by the U.S. Constitution adopted in 1787, the separation between blacks and whites was already made. Indeed, that separation was itself foreshadowed by the Constitution, which, in a famous compromise, decreed that "Representatives...shall be apportioned among the several states...according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons...three-fifths of all other persons." Those "other persons" were slaves. The "three-fifths" was a compromise between excluding all slaves for purposes of apportionment (which would have reduced the weight of the Southern slave states in the union) or counting them simply as persons (which would have given the slave states too great weight).

Sean Curtin (Professor, Japanese Red Cross University) A full list of articles in this series can be found here. Divorce rates are often calculated on the basis of the number of divorces per 1000 of population. This is known as the "crude divorce rate" and provides a relatively good guide to the level and pace of martial dissolution in a given country. In 2001, the Japanese divorce rate hit a modern day high of 2.27 per thousand people. In concrete terms, the 2.27 mark represented 285,917 marital dissolutions, which was also a record number. In 2000, the figure had been 264,246 couples and in 1999 it was 250,529. As the statistics below illustrate, since the nineties divorce has become relatively common in Japan. Research indicates that the upward trend is likely to continue, which will further swell the already sizable ranks of divorced people in the population.

86. Asian And Pacific Islander Institute The second is the Overview of the Asian American Experience which focuses on for Chinese, Japanese, Asian Indians, Koreans and Pilipinos to own land. http://p2001.health.org/CTI06/HEALACT13.HTM

HEALING Overview of the Asian American Experience Major Sections Name of Author Participants Goal Objectives ... References Name of Author Dave Nakashima Participants All Participants 15-75 People Goal Gain knowledge of historical events that have affected Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the United States today. Objectives By the end of this activity, participants will be able to: Identify 5 Asian American ethnic groups. List 5 characteristics of specific Asian American populations. List 3 experiences of inequality or injustice experienced by Asians in the United States. Facilitator Notes This activity is intended to serve specifically as an overview for Asians and does not address Pacific Islanders. This "overview" includes three activities, the first is the "Profile of the Asian American Community" which is a demographic overview of Asian Americans. The second is the "Overview of the Asian American Experience" which focuses on the history of discrimination and experiences of oppression. The third is a small group discussion activity leading to ATOD prevention implications for Asian American communities. The overview is designed to be used in its entirety or one of the three parts depending on time constraints or needs of the participants. The activity can be used to set the stage for many activities in the curriculum. The total running time for all three activities is 2 hours 30 minutes.
