Myth of the Model Minority Asian Americans Facing Racism, Second Edition [Hardcover]

The second edition of this popular book adds important new research on how racial stereotyping is gendered and sexualized. New interviews show that Asian American men feel emasculated in Americas male hierarchy. Women recount their experiences of being exoticized, subtly and otherwise, as sexual objects. The new data reveal how race, gender, and sexuality intersect in the lives of Asian Americans. The text retains all the features of the renowned first edition, which offered the first in-depth exploration of how Asian Americans experience and cope with everyday racism. The book depicts the double consciousness of many Asian Americansexperiencing racism but feeling the pressures to conform to popular images of their group as Americas highly achieving model minority.

<br><b>FEATURES OF THE SECOND EDITION</b>Praise for the first edition:

The authors show how the model minority is a myth, too inaccurate to be useful. They reveal how it reflects invidious assumptions and is abused for political purposes. Anyone who cares about Asian Americansindeed, who is interested in the dynamics of diversityshould be interested in this detailed critique. Very highly recommended.
Frank H. Wu, author of Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White

Through a compelling analysis of white racism experienced by Asian Americans in their everyday lives, Chou and Feagin offer a powerful examination of the psychological and emotional burdens imposed by racism in contemporary society.

Most Americans believe Asian Americans are content, do not suffer from discrimination, and are all in the path to whiteness. Bravo to the authors for bringing to the fore the racial oppression endured by Asian Americans!
