What does it mean to be an Asian-American in the United States today? Are Asian-Americans considered \"honorary whites\" or forever thought of as \"foreigners?\" Mia Tuan examines the salience and meaning of ethnicity for later generation Chinese- and Japanese-Americans, and asks how their concepts of ethnicity differ from that of white ethnic Americans. She interviewed 95 middle-class Chinese and Japanese Californians and analyzes the importance of ethnic identities and the concept of becoming a \"real\" American for both Asian and white ethnics. She asks her subjects about their early memories and experiences with Chinese/Japanese culture; current lifestyle and emerging cultural practices; experiences with racism and discrimination; and attitudes toward current Asian immigration. | Forever Foreigners or Honorary Whites? by Mia Tuan, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
