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 610 $aAfrican American freedom. 610 $aAmerican public. 610 $aAsian American identity. 610 $aAsians. 610 $aAsiatic. 610 $aChina. 610 $aChinatown. 610 $aChinese American citizenship. 610 $aChinese Americans. 610 $aCold War civil rights. 610 $aHawai?i statehood. 610 $aHawai?i. 610 $aJapanese American Citizens League. 610 $aJapanese Americans. 610 $aKorean War. 610 $aNikkei citizenship. 610 $aNikkei. 610 $aNisei soldier. 610 $aNisei women. 610 $aNisei zoot-suiters. 610 $aOriental men. 610 $aOverseas Chinese. 610 $aPacific War. 610 $aPacific melting pot. 610 $aRed Scare. 610 $aWorld War II. 610 $aanti-Communism. 610 $acitizenship imperatives. 610 $aeducational campaigns. 610 $aethnic Asian populations. 610 $aethnic Chinese. 610 $aethnic communities. 610 $aethnic community. 610 $aexclusion. 610 $afamily. 610 $agender. 610 $aimmigrant communities. 610 $aindigenous population. 610 $ajuvenile delinquency. 610 $amodel minorities. 610 $amodel minority. 610 $anational belonging. 610 $apolitical moderation. 610 $apost-Exclusion era. 610 $aracial harmony. 610 $aracial landscape. 610 $aracial liberal sentiment. 610 $aracial liberalism. 610 $aracial order. 610 $aracial paradise. 610 $aracial reform. 610 $aself-reliance. 610 $asexuality. 610 $asocial science. 610 $astatehood. 610 $atraditional family values. 610 $awar mobilization. 610 $awarrior persona. 610 $awartime culture. 610 $awartime masculinity. 610 $awhite settler colonists. 610 $aworld leadership. 610 $ayogore. 610 $ayouth criminality. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xCultural assimilation. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xHistory 676 $a305.895073 686 $aHIS036060$aSOC031000$aPOL004000$aSOC043000$2bisacsh 700 $aWu$b Ellen D.$01048718 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823450303321 996 $aThe color of success$94064160 997 $aUNINA
