Model Minority/Asian American --$tNotes --$tArchival, Primary, and Unpublished Sources --$tIndex 330 $aThe Color of Success tells of the astonishing transformation of Asians in the United States from the "yellow peril" to "model minorities"--peoples distinct from the white majority but lauded as well-assimilated, upwardly mobile, and exemplars of traditional family values--in the middle decades of the twentieth century. As Ellen Wu shows, liberals argued for the acceptance of these immigrant communities into the national fold, charging that the failure of America to live in accordance with its democratic ideals endangered the country's aspirations to world leadership. Weaving together myriad perspectives, Wu provides an unprecedented view of racial reform and the contradictions of national belonging in the civil rights era. She highlights the contests for power and authority within Japanese and Chinese America alongside the designs of those external to these populations, including government officials, social scientists, journalists, and others. And she demonstrates that the invention of the model minority took place in multiple arenas, such as battles over zoot suiters leaving wartime internment camps, the juvenile delinquency panic of the 1950's, Hawaii statehood, and the African American freedom movement. Together, these illuminate the impact of foreign relations on the domestic racial order and how the nation accepted Asians as legitimate citizens while continuing to perceive them as indelible outsiders. By charting the emergence of the model minority stereotype, The Color of Success reveals that this far-reaching, politically charged process continues to have profound implications for how Americans understand race, opportunity, and nationhood. 410 0$aPolitics and Society in Twentieth-Century America 606 $aAsian Americans$xPublic opinion 606 $aAsian Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aAsian Americans$xCultural assimilation 606 $aAsian Americans$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xCultural assimilation. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xHistory 676 $a305.895073 700 $aWu$b Ellen D.$01048718 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453338903321 996 $aThe color of success$92477180 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05142nam 2200757Ia 450 001 9910456802303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-35862-6 010 $a9786612358623 010 $a0-520-94005-9 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520940055 035 $a(CKB)2430000000010937 035 $a(EBL)837218 035 $a(OCoLC)773564944 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000309628 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11925161 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000309628 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10266573 035 $a(PQKB)10794486 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000056014 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC837218 035 $a(OCoLC)667012024 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse30765 035 $a(DE-B1597)520451 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520940055 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL837218 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10675829 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL235862 035 $a(EXLCZ)992430000000010937 100 $a20061031d2007 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aSlum travelers$b[electronic resource] $eladies and London poverty, 1860-1920 /$fedited with introductions by Ellen Ross 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$dc2007 215 $a1 online resource (345 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-520-24906-2 311 $a0-520-24905-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tIllustrations --$tPreface --$tAcknowledgments --$tAbbreviations --$tIntroduction: Adventures Among The Poor --$t1.

By the 1890's at least half a million women were involved in philanthropy, particularly in London. Slum Travelers, edited, annotated, and with a superb introduction by Ellen Ross, collects a fascinating array of the writings of these "lady explorers," who were active in the east, south, and central London slums from around 1870 until the end of World War I. Contributors range from the well known, including Annie Besant, Sylvia Pankhurst, and Beatrice Webb (then Potter), to the obscure. The collection reclaims an important group of writers whose representations of urban poverty have been eclipsed by better-known male authors such as Charles Dickens and Jack London. 606 $aWomen social reformers$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 606 $aWomen social reformers$zEngland$zLondon$vBiography 606 $aWomen in charitable work$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 606 $aPoor$xServices for$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 606 $aSocial problems$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen social reformers$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen social reformers 615 0$aWomen in charitable work$xHistory. 615 0$aPoor$xServices for$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial problems$xHistory. 676 $a362.5/5740922421 701 $aRoss$b Ellen$0981508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456802303321 996 $aSlum travelers$92443025 997 $aUNINA
