Third World Studies: Theorizing Liberation
In this revised and expanded second edition of Third World Studies, Gary Y. Okihiro considers the methods and theories that might constitute the formation of Third World studies. Proposed in 1968 at San Francisco State College by the Third World Liberation Front but replaced by faculty and administrators with ethnic studies, Third World studies was over before it began. As opposed to ethnic studies, which Okihiro critiques for its liberalism and …
AfroAsian Encounters: Culture, History, Politics
As is always the case, this volume owes a large debt to a wide range of people who showed their genuine interest in the fundamental ideas of AfroAsian Encounters and participated with challenging discussions at many different sites and occasions.The inspiration for the project came, for Shannon, from a seminar with Harry Elam, without whom her area of research would never have materialized.Paul Spickard provided the initial impetus for our first …
"Island Race," originally published in the International Journal of Okinawan Studies (2012)
In the annals of European science, there is only one island race. That race and the four others are a gift of the Enlightenment to the world courtesy of the imperial science of taxonomy. Carl Linnaeus, the "father of taxonomy," or the science of presuming to name, classify, and attribute natures to all of the earth's organisms, identifi ed four human varieties in his Systema naturae (1735). The book has several iterations, but most consider the 1…

American History Unbound: Asians and Pacific Islanders
A survey of U.S. history from its beginnings to the present, American History Unbound reveals our past through the lens of Asian American and Pacific Islander history. In so doing, it is a work of both history and anti-history, a narrative that fundamentally transforms and deepens our understanding of the United States. This text is accessible and filled with engaging stories and themes that draw attention to key theoretical and historical interp…
Margins and Mainstreams: Asians in American History and Culture
In this classic book on the meaning of multiculturalism in larger American society, Gary Okihiro explores the significance of Asian American experiences from the perspectives of historical consciousness, race, gender, class, and culture. While exploring anew the meanings of Asian American social history, Okihiro argues that the core values and ideals of the nation emanate today not from the so-called mainstream but from the margins, from among As…
Of space/time and the pineapple
This article considers space and time as relational constructs and quantum states that correspond with assignments of spatial and temporal distinctions and values. The career of the pineapple, in its transgressions of land and water, the temperate and tropical latitudes, the Atlantic and Pacific, America and the rest of the world, illustrates imperialism and the social construction of space/time
Encyclopedia of Japanese American Internment
This book addresses the forced removal and confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II—a topic significant to all Americans, regardless of race or color. The internment of Japanese Americans was a violation of the Constitution and its guarantee of equal protection under the law—yet it was authorized by a presidential order, given substance by an act of Congress, and affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Japanese internment is a topic that…
Unsettling the Imperial Sciences
Latitudes of climates and constitutions, like the allied myth of continents and races, have a deep and persistent past within European and US imperial discourses both as language and ideology. Taxonomies that name, classify, and attribute natures to lands, waters, climates, plants, animals, and peoples discipline, interpellate, and exert dominion over them. Those sciences create subjects, and in their imposition of order and hierarchies, they con…
Self and history
This personal essay examines the author's personal and intellectual trajectory from his experiences growing up in a plantation in Hawai`i to his academic engagement with African and Asian American history. Constructing the essay around the polarities and unions of space and time, he explores the way the self and the scholar, multiply constituted by race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and nation, was and is a work in progress
Racial Transformations: Latinos and Asians Remaking the United States
Moving beyond the black-white binary that has long framed racial discourse in the United States, the contributors to this collection examine how the experiences of Latinos and Asians intersect in the formation of the U.S. nation-state. They analyze the political and social processes that have racialized Latinos and Asians while highlighting the productive ways that these communities challenge and transform the identities imposed on them. Each ess…
The Columbia Guide to Asian American History: Ecology and Natural History of a Neotropical Savanna
Offering a rich and insightful road map of Asian American history as it has evolved over more than 200 years, this book marks the first systematic attempt to take stock of this field of study. It examines, comments, and questions the changing assumptions and contexts underlying the experiences and contributions of an incredibly diverse population of Americans. Arriving and settling in this nation as early as the 1790s, with American-born generati…
Japanese Americans and the Making of U.S. Democracy During World War II
This is an introduction to two Office of War Information propaganda films on Japanese Internment. To view the films, click on the URLs at the end of this article.] Upon viewing once again the Office of War Information's “newsreels” on the forced removal and confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II, I am struck by the contradictions of the ideals of U.S. democracy and its realities. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his message to C…

Oral History and the Writing of Ethnic History: A Reconnaissance into Method and Theory
While ethnic historians have utilized oral history for a number of years, in varying degrees of sophistication, few have addressed themselves to the methodological problem of oral history as a tool for recovering history or the theoretical problem of what constitutes history which oral history proposes to answer. The intent of this paper is a modest one. It synthesizes the scattered body of literature on oral history method and seeks to show that…

Migrant Labor and the “Poverty” of Asian American Studies
At the closing session of the 1984 meeting of the Association for Asian American Studies at UCLA, Lucie Cheng decried the “poverty” of the field. The “poverty” referred to by the longtime director of the country’s largest Asian American Studies program was the failure of scholars to develop significant theoretical and methodological tools for understanding our past and present condition. There is considerable merit to her assessment. Since its in…

Critique [of Ethical Problems in Evaluation Research]
Johnson’s paper contains four assumptions which deserve further attention, especially in the context of ethnic minorities. These four assumptions are both obvious and at the root of the ethical problems: 1) Minorities need services; 2) services are to be provided by the dominant group; 3) the providing of services must be evaluated for cost-effectiveness; and 4) the evaluators are more likely to come from the dominant group than the minority grou…
Critique [of Griggs and Corrothers: [Historical Reality and Black Fiction]
The foregoing essay by James Robert Payne describes two important pieces of Afroamerican literature and places them within their historical context. Payne offers a tantalizing account of those examples of late nineteenth and early twentieth century black nationalist writing; he fails, however, to explain their historical significance in terms of black nationalist thought around the turn of the century

Precolonial Economic Change among the Tlhaping, c. 1795-1817
South African historiography has been transformed over the past decade by the revisionist or radical school of history. The change reflects a more modern emphasis on the world economy and the processes of dependency and underdevelopment. Influential in that advance have been the writings of Colin Bundy, the Palmer and Parsons volume, Roots of Rural Poverty, and the essays and lively exchanges published in the Review of African Political Economy. …
