    David Yoo, Arshad Imtiaz Ali et al.BOOKEnvisioning Religion, Race, and…2020

    In Envisioning Religion, Race, and Asian Americans, David K. Yoo and Khyati Y. Joshi assemble a wide-ranging and important collection of essays documenting the intersections of race and religion and Asian American communities—a combination so often missing both in the scholarly literature and in public discourse. Issues of religion and race/ethnicity undergird current national debates around immigration, racial profiling, and democratic freedoms,…

  • Romancing Human Rights: Gender, Intimacy, and Power between Burma and the West

    Tamara C Ho, Russell Leong et al.BOOKRomancing Human Rights2017

    When the world thinks of Burma, it is often in relation to Nobel laureate and icon Aung San Suu Kyi. But beyond her is another world, one that complicates the overdetermination of Burma as a pariah state and myths about the "high status" of Southeast Asian women. Highlighting and critiquing this fraught terrain, Tamara C. Ho's Romancing Human Rights maps "Burmese women" as real and imagined figures across the twentieth century and into the twenty…

  • Ancestry of Experience: A Journey into Hawaiian Ways of Knowing

    Leilani Holmes, Russell Leong et al.BOOKAncestry of Experience2017References: 18

    As Hawaiians continue to recover their language and culture, the voices of kupuna (elders) are heard once again in urban and rural settings, both in Hawai'i and elsewhere. How do kupuna create knowledge and "tell" history? What do they tell us about being Hawaiian? Adopted by a Midwestern couple in the 1950s as an infant, Leilani Holmes spent much of her early life in settings that offered no clues about her Hawaiian past-images of which continue…

    D Yoo, David K YooARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    In Race, Religion, and Civil Rights: Asian Students on the West Coast, 1900–1968, Stephanie Hinnershitz expands the long civil rights movement to include the activism of Asian international and second-generation Asian American university students who were part of regional and national networks connected to the work of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA).

  • Encountering Modernity: Christianity in East Asia and Asian America

    Albert L Park, David K YooBOOKEncountering modernity2014

    The story of Catholicism and Protestantism in China, Japan, and Korea has been told in great detail. Less evident, however, are studies that contextualize Christianity within the larger economic, political, social, and cultural developments in each of the three countries and its diasporas. This book provides insights into Christianity’s role in the development of East Asia and as it took shape among East Asians in the United States. It brings tog…

  • Transpacific Studies: Framing an Emerging Field

    David K Yoo, Janet Alison Hoskins et al.BOOKTranspacific Studies2014

    The Pacific has long been a space of conquest, exploration, fantasy, and resistance. Pacific Islanders had established civilizations and cultures of travel well before European explorers arrived, initiating centuries of upheaval and transformation. The twentieth century, with wars fought in and over the Pacific, is only the most recent era to witness military strife and economic competition. Recognizing the increasing importance of the transpacif…

  • The Oxford Handbook of Asian American History

    David K Yoo, Eiichiro AzumaBOOKOxford Handbook of Asian American…2013

    The academic field of Asian American history traces its roots to social movements of the late 1960s, when individuals and communities attempted to expand and challenge the existing frame of United States history to take into account their experiences. There were of course people who had documented and written about Asian Americans in earlier eras, but a recognizable field did not develop until the Asian American movement. The publication of Ronal…
