The racial replenishment of ethnicity: Asian immigration and the limits of Japanese American assimilation
A growing literature on racialized assimilation notes the likelihood of simultaneous upward mobility and persistent racial marginalization within immigrant-origin communities of color.

Telling the Right Story: Narrative as a Mechanism for Japanese American Ethnic Boundary Maintenance
This study conceptualizes ethnic grand narrative, a comprehensive story of a people, as a mechanism for maintaining and policing ethnic community boundaries.

After four-plus generations in the United States, Japanese Americans are regarded as an ethnic group noted for high socioeconomic achievement, thorough accu…
