In this fascinating study, Henry Yu explains how Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans came to be lumped together as "Orientals" in the United States, and how this eventually led to their understanding of themselves as Asian Americans. Yu tells the story of how white American intellectuals from the University of Chicago sought out Americans of Chinese and Japanese ancestry. Detailing how they together constructed theories about an exotic Orient completely opposite from American culture, Yu describes the history of American Orientalism and shows how it helped to produce modern notions of race and culture. The ideas that arose from studying Orientals, connected by social scientists with theories about African Americans and white European immigrants, inform the way we understand the race in America today. Yu uses poignant vignettes to illustrate the difficult and often ironic positions of intellectuals of colour, providing a glimpse into what W.E.B. Dubois called the "double consciousness" of racial minorities in the United States. He goes on to discuss how cultural theory has become confused with anti-racism, and how a colourblind denial of race has failed to free us from racism. His book is one of the first to describe how crucial Asian Americans have been in the shaping of theories of race and culture, helping to move us away from the black/white paradigm of race relations. Yu explains why an Asian American can be a fourth-generation citizen of the United States and yet still be considered a foreigner. He also details how theories about Asians as a "model minority" were created in the aftermath of Japanese American internment, and how Asian Americans have been pitted politically against African Americans and Hispanic Americans. 606 $aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aAsian Americans$xEthnic identity$xPhilosophy 606 $aChicago school of sociology 606 $aSociology$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aAsian Americans$xEthnic identity$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aChicago school of sociology. 615 0$aSociology$xHistory 676 $a305.895073 700 $aYu$b Henry$f1967-$01039947 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450088403321 996 $aThinking Orientals$92462430 997 $aUNINA
