These histories and origin points analogously serve as initial moorings for Flashpoints for Asian American Studies, a collection that considers?almost fifty years after its student protest founding--the possibilities of and limitations inherent in Asian American studies as historically entrenched, politically embedded, and institutionally situated interdiscipline. Unequivocally, Flashpoints for Asian American Studies investigates the multivalent ways in which the field has at times and?more provocatively, has not?responded to various contemporary crises, particularly as they are manifest in prevailing racist, sexist, homophobic, and exclusionary politics at home, ever-expanding imperial and militarized practices abroad, and neoliberal practices in higher education. 606 $aAsian Americans$xIntellectual life 606 $aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aAsian Americans$xStudy and teaching 610 $aAsian American Studies. 610 $aCritical University Studies. 610 $aDiaspora. 610 $aEthnic Studies. 610 $aInstitutionalization. 610 $aSettler Colonialism. 610 $aTransnationalism. 610 $aTranspacific. 610 $aneoliberalism. 610 $astudent activism. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aAsian Americans$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a378.1/98295073 686 $aSOC008000$aLIT006000$2bisacsh 701 $aNguyen$b Viet Thanh$f1971-$01608540 702 $aSchlund-Vials$b Cathy$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829033503321 996 $aFlashpoints for Asian American Studies$93935335 997 $aUNINA
