JAPAN SOCIETY Japan Society, America's most respected resource on Japan, is a private, non-profit, nonpolitical organization devoted to cultural, educational and public affairs, and to discussions, exchanges and research in areas of vital interest to the U.S. and Japan. The Society's focus on public affairs and the arts increasingly reflects a broader Asian and global context in U.S.-Japan relations. Its main purpose, however, has remained unchanged since it was founded in 1907-to serve as a catalyst for intellectual and cultural exchange in order to nurture and sustain a healthy, productive relationship between America and Japan. The Society's building, designed by Junzo Yoshimura, houses two bamboo pools connected by a waterfall and beautiful indoor gardens. It is an oasis of design, elegance and tranquility in midtown Manhattan.

Native Pacific Islanders are considered Native Americans and are discussed with American Indians/Alaska Natives. (See discussion of Pacific Islanders in section on Native Americans.) Asian populations are discussed together. This change is made because native Pacific Islanders are only 5 percent of the Asian and Pacific Islander total and often have health outcomes more akin to those of American Indians/Alaska Natives than to Asian subpopulations. In addition, native Pacific Islanders are not immigrants to the United States as are Asian populations. Thus, an effort has been made throughout to disaggregate Asians from Pacific Islanders whenever possible, and to display data for the groups separately. Aggregate statistics for Asians and Pacific Islanders are used, however, when they are the best available. Asian Americans are immigrants to the United States (and their descendants) from more than 20 countries who speak more than 100 different languages. They come from places such as China, India, Japan, the Philippines, Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand and represent more than 60 different ethnicities (22). In 1990, the largest subpopulations (in descending order) were persons of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, and Southeast Asian ancestry. By the year 2000, Filipinos are projected to be the largest Asian subpopulation, followed by Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese Americans, in that order (120).

UNDERSTANDING THE NUANCES OF THE ASIAN AMERICAN CONSUMER - WANLA CHENG, ASIALINK CONSULTING Urban Markets in the US - Horowitz Associates Core Confucian Asian values that are common across most Asian cultures: Importance of family: Family is highly important to Asians both in terms of the unit structure itself as it contributes a stable core of activity and the strength of the relationships. Multi-generational living was a common tradition. Though this still exists, this trend is eroding in both Asia and among Asian Americans. Children are the centerpiece of Asian families and the key reason for many personal goals. Most immigrants have come to the U.S. for the sake of the betterment of their children's lives and futures. Respect for the elderly is a common thread through all Asian cultures. Many purchasing decisions are often made by a consensus of family members. Importance of education: Getting a good education for their children is highly important. Asians are high achievers (although standards vary across different cultures). A good education (i.e., right schools, higher levels) is believed to be the cornerstone of success in life. Asians believe that high scholastic achievement leads to good/stable jobs with good incomes which in turn can result in higher social status.

Kim, Ph.D. Institute of American Cultures Postdoctoral Fellow, UCLA Asian American Studies Center Wednesday, 8 May 2002, 1:00 pm 3119 Rolfe Hall This talk explores the conspicuously ignored historical topic of the experience of non-Japanese Asian Americans on the homefront during World War II. Using Korean Americans as a case study in a reexamination of the racialized context of the homefront during World War II, this project seeks to complicate the conventional interpretation of World War II which dichotomizes the devastating experience of Japanese Americans on the one hand and the "watershed" years of socioeconomic opportunities the wartime mobilization afforded all other Asian Americans on the other hand. Specifically, this presentation will address the Korean American responses to the internment of Japanese Americans, and the limits of their moral imagination in framing their strategies to escape unscathed from racism on the homefront. Lili M. Kim is the 2001-2002 UCLA Institute of American Cultures postdoctoral fellow in Ethnic studies. She received her Ph.D. in American history from the University of Rochester in New York, and has taught at the State University of New York at Buffalo, the University of Pennsylvania, and Hampshire College. Her article, "Redefining the Boundaries of Traditional Gender Roles: Korean Picture Brides, Pioneer Korean Immigrant Women, and Their Benevolent Nationalism in Hawai'i," will appear in Asian Pacific American Women's History Anthology, edited by Shirley Hune and Gail Nomura.

Home Asian American Studies at the U of M Faculty Courses Resources Asian American Studies at the University of Minnesota Asian American Studies has several necessary functions in any academic setting. First, it provides a scholarly and critical context for understanding the history, politics, and culture of Americans of Asian descent, and for looking at the situation of racial minorities in the United States and other parts of the Americas. Second, it allows intellectual and artistic collaboration, and the genuine exchange of ideas and knowledge, to take place in settings both inside and outside the classroom. Finally, it works to tie the resources of the university more closely to those of local communities, particularly those with a high population of Asian immigrants and Asian Americans. In terms of its locale, community resources, and faculty, the University of Minnesota is uniquely positioned to develop the teaching of Asian American history, politics, literature, and culture.

Book Nook Volume 1, No. 3 (Spring 1997) The Wing Luke Asian Museum Charlene Mano Click an image to read its caption. Wing Luke, the namesake of the Wing Luke Asian Museum, was one of the first Asian Americans elected to public office in the continental U.S. A Seattle City Council person of Chinese descent from 1962 until 1965, Luke died at age 40 in an airplane crash. In an era of civil rights activism and optimism for a just society, the popular, well spoken Luke embodied the ideals of cooperation and understanding that we continue to strive for as a museum and as a nation. The mission of the Wing Luke Asian Museum is to educate the public about the contributions, history, and issues facing Asian Pacific American (APA) communities. To achieve this goal, the Museum serves as a vehicle for over 26 different APA groups in Washington state to present their stories through the creation of community-based and community-curated exhibitions. On February 19, 1992, fifty years after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the forced relocation of 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry (two-thirds of whom were Americans by birthright), the Wing Luke Asian Museum opened a ground breaking exhibit on the 100 year history of Japanese Americans in the Pacific Northwest. Conceived, developed and installed by over 100 individuals from the Japanese American community, this exhibit resulted from months of planning, research and conferring among Museum staff and committee members who spanned three generations.

Asian American Movement The Pan-Asian American Movement was born in the 1980's especially because of Vincent Chin's death Various Asian American groups came together and realized that they had been subjected to oppression separately but were often mistaken and labeled for ethnic groups that they were not. Other non-Japanese, Asian Americans also suffered from hate crimes. I remember being called "Jap" when I was a little child. I am half Korean and besides not knowing what Japanese was, I didn't even know what Korean was. I was awakened to my ethnicity, not through my own pride, but through the ignorance of my fellow classmates. See other stories that also examine this xenophobic attitude: "Leaves from the Mental Portfolio of an Eurasian" by Sui Sin Far "Wilshire Bus" by Hisaye Yamamoto Other incidents would occur against "Japanese" in America.

September 3, 1999 What's Wrong with Asking Japan for Apology? New California Media, August 31, 1999 By Emil Guillermo Pan Asia? Sounds like some gourmet cookware store. In reality it's an even more inclusive term than "Asian American" or even "Asian Pacific American." See where you fit in among the Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Thai, Bangladeshi, Burmese, Indonesian, Malayan, Okinawan, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Tongan, Tahitian, Northern Mariana Islander, Palauan and Fijian. And let's not forget the Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Hawaiian, Samoan, and Guamanian. Sometimes it's good just to read them off like the Periodic Table of the Elements. That way we'll appreciate why sometimes the notion of a "Pan Asian America" is akin to harnessing the power of inert gases. "Pan Asian American?" It's easier to make a decent pan pizza outside of Chicago. Maybe we should blame it on the very Asian-ness of our being. No one expects us to get along in Asia. Why should we here in the U.S.? Witness the situation in East Timor. In 1975, a not-so-friendly invasion by Indonesia cost 200,000 East Timorese their lives. This week, the island got its chance to vote for independence or autonomy within Indonesia.
