Editors' Preface
Editors' Preface Diane C. Fujino and Lisa Sun-Hee Park In this issue, the Journal of Asian American Studies (JAAS) presents two exciting special forums. These are located in a new section of the journal that we initiated to affirm the importance of activist-scholarship and ethnic studies pedagogy in Asian American studies. The activist-scholarship and critical pedagogy call for papers seeks essays that offer "new analytical interventions on the p…

Fujino and Lisa Sun-Hee Park (bio) The set of articles before you examine the expanding area of environmental justice studies engaged with racial justice and decolonial studies. They explore the convergence of Asian American studies and the issues it animates with concerns emerging from studies of environmental racism, settler colonialism, and capitalist violence. In this special issue, "Environmental Entanglements in As…
The Silicon Valley of Dreams
Next to the nuclear industry, the largest producer of contaminants in the air, land, and water is the electronics industry. Silicon Valley hosts the highest density of Superfund sites anywhere in the nation and leads the country in the number of temporary workers per capita and in workforce gender inequities. Silicon Valley offers a sobering illustration of environmental inequality and other problems that are increasingly linked to the globalizat…

Migration and Racialization Part II
Medical Deportations and Racial Narratives of the Burdensome Migrant
Hospitals across the U.S. are quietly removing severely injured and chronically ill migrants to other nations. It is a reality that exists in practice but not in policy and is experienced by hundreds, potentially thousands, of low-income uninsured migrants. There is no formal accounting or regulation of this practice and federal immigration authorities remain silent regarding this practice despite the fact that alien removals, or deportations, ar…

Fujino The articles in this issue provide a glimpse of the difficult questions and expansive, insightful possibilities that drive the discipline of Asian American studies. While each paper identifies a distinct research agenda and methodological approach, they all make clear the urgency of their fundamental contributions. The unsaid and unspeakable are exposed in careful and meticulous ways, with th…

Editors’ Preface
Editors’ Preface Lisa Sun-Hee Park and Diane C. Fujino We write this preface at a particularly difficult moment within a particularly difficult year and a half. The targeted deaths of Asian American women in Georgia graphically punctuated the heightened violence against Asian Americans in general during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, there have been numerous public engagements on these incidents as people try to grapple with the larger issue…
The Slums of Aspen
Winner, Allan Schnaiberg Outstanding Publication Award, presented by the Environment & Technology section of the American Sociological Association Environmentalism usually calls to mind images of peace and serenity, a oneness with nature, and a shared sense of responsibility. But one town in Colorado, under the guise of environmental protection, passed a resolution limiting immigration, bolstering the privilege of the wealthy and scapegoating Lat…

Mobility can indicate a powerful or privileged relationship with one’s environment. The ability to exercise mobility or not (of oneself or others) is an exertion of power that demarcates where particular people belong and under what kind of environmental conditions. This essay focuses on the significance of borders in creating environmental privilege in the Anthropocene. Environmental privilege is accrued through the exercise of economic, politic…

Challenging Public Charge Policy
As part of the anti-immigrant fervor in the 1990s, the state of California initiated a series of border enforcement programs that targeted immigrant women’s access to prenatal care. Using public charge policy, the state Department of Health Services (DHS) and federal immigration authorities worked to deter low-income immigrant women from accessing health services by defining immigrant women as public burdens. This paper focuses on the successful …
Consuming Citizenship
Consuming Citizenship investigates how Korean American and Chinese American children of entrepreneurial immigrants demonstrate their social citizenship as Americans through conspicuous consumption. The American immigrant entrepreneur has played a central role in projecting the American ideology of meritocracy and equality. The children of these immigrants are seen as evidence of an open society. While it appears that these children have readily a…
Racial Formation, Environmental Racism, and the Emergence of Silicon Valley
The environmental justice literature is characterized by a strange fact: the vast majority of research on this topic is about racial inequality, yet there is almost no mention of social scientific theories of race and racism. It is as if statistical correlations alone are enough to prove or disprove the existence of racism. While there are exceptions to this rule, the overwhelming majority of environmental justice studies make no mention of well-…

Battered Women in Korean Immigrant Families
Current myths about Asian Americans as quiet, nonproblematic, and self-managing ignore the problems faced by Korean immigrant battered women. Wife abuse is no stranger to Korean culture. This book provides insights on how Korean immigrant families' cultural conflict during their adjustment period often brings out wife abuse in their homes. The author cites attitudes toward traditionalism as a significant contributing factor, noting that couples w…
