Wellbeing under threat: Multiply marginalized and underrepresented teachers’ intersecting identities
The purpose of this study was to better understand threats to the wellbeing of multiply marginalised and underrepresented (MMU) teachers by unpacking the ways their multiple social identities intersect with each other and with their teacher identities. This study foregrounded the eudaimonic aspect of wellbeing, examining the extent to which the participants’ needs for relatedness, autonomy, and competence are met within school systems that tend t…
Interrogating the 'White-Leaning' Thesis of White-Asian Multiracials
The study of multiracial people in the United States has typically focused on the experiences of Black-White racially-mixed individuals. In this article, we review and analyze the theoretical and evidence base for the White-leaning characterization of Asian-White multiracials. Historically, Asian Americans have been positioned as a "racial middle" group in relation to White and Black Americans. In line with this perceived racial position, Asian-W…
The Model Man: Shifting Perceptions of Asian American Masculinity and the Renegotiation of a Racial Hierarchy of Desire
Although Asian-descent men in the United States have been subjected to negative race-gender stereotyping and sexual racism, evidence suggests that mainstream perceptions and Asian American men's self-definitions are in flux. Drawing on in-depth interviews of U.S.-born and -raised, middle-class, heterosexual Asian American men, supplemented by popular media textual analysis, we examine how these men are drawing upon a new form of alternative Asian…
Love Across Borders: Asian Americans, Race, and the Politics of Intermarriage and Family-Making
High rates of intermarriage, especially with whites, have been viewed as an indicator that Asian-Americans are successfully "assimilating," signaling acceptance by the white majority and their own desire to become part of the white mainstream. Comparing two types of Asian-American intermarriage, interracial and interethnic, Kelly H. Chong disrupts these assumptions by showing that both types of intermarriages, in differing ways, are sites of comp…

Saving face: The emotional costs of the Asian immigrant family myth
Angie Chung has written a timely book about the Asian immigrant family in the US. In the wake of such controversial publications as Amy Chua's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother in 2011, a book which

Asianness' under Construction: The Contours and Negotiation of Panethnic Identity/Culture among Interethnically Married Asian Americans
Based on life-history interviews of interethnically married U.S.-raised Asians, this article examines the meaning and dynamics of Asian American interethnic marriages, and what they reveal about the complex incorporative process of this 'in-between' racial minority group into the U.S.. In particular, this article explores the connection between Asian American interethnic marriage and pan-Asian consciousness/identity, both in terms of how panethni…
Getting the Holy Ghost: Urban Ethnography in a Brooklyn Pentecostal Tongue-Speaking Church
Relevance of Race: Children and the Shifting Engagement with Racial/Ethnic Identity among Second-Generation Interracially Married Asian Americans
Asian Americans have historically enjoyed one of the highest rates of intermarriage of any racial/ethnic group. By exploring the dynamics of interracial marriages among middle-class, professional Asian Americans in Chicago, this article examines what interracial marriages mean for these putative racial/ethnic “boundary crossers” and what they signify about assimilation, racial/ethnic identity, and redrawing of color boundaries in America. This ar…
Theory as a Tool in the Social Scientific Study of Religion and Martin Riesebrodt's The Promise of Salvation
No single paradigm or debate currently orients the social scientific study of religion. Because of this, those engaged in the multidisciplinary study of religion find that a public conversation is often difficult. In this article and the Forum it introduces, we explore Martin Riesebrodt's recently published book, The Promise of Salvation: A Theory of Religion. Responding to the inadequacies of secularization paradigms, rational choice models, and…

Based on ethnographic research, this study investigates the meaning and impact of women's involvement in South Korean evangelicalism. While recent works addressing the 'paradox' of women's participation in conservative religions have highlighted the significance of these religions as unexpected vehicles of gender empowerment and contestation, this study finds that the experiences and consequences of Korean evangelical women's religiosity are high…

What It Means to Be Christian: The Role of Religion in the Construction of Ethnic Identity and Boundary among Second-Generation Korean Americans
Despite a rich body of literature on the role of ethnic religion in immigrant communities, there has been relatively little attention paid to the role and impact of ethnic religion on the second generation. This is due partly to the earlier dominance of the assimilationist paradigm, which, based mostly on the experiences of the “old” turn-of-the-century European immigrant groups, tended to postulate a second-generation rejection of religion and e…
