Asian American History and Its Publics
In this forum, a diverse group of scholars and practitioners reflect upon doing work as Asian Americanists with and for non-academic audiences, or various "publics." Their remarks were originally presented at the Organization of American Historians (OAH) meeting in Los Angeles, California in March 2023. The authors' experiences were wide-ranging, from curating museum exhibits to advocating for K-12 curricular reform. Though their journeys as publ…
From imperialism to inpatient care
In the United States, nursing is the largest healthcare profession, with over 3.2 million registered nurses (RNs) nationwide and comprised of mostly women. Foreign-trained RNs make up 15 percent of the RN workforce. For over half a century, the U.S. healthcare industry has recruited these RNs in response to nurse shortages in hospitals and nursing homes. Philippines-trained RNs make up 1 out of 20 RNs in this country and continue to be the larges…

Nursing and Empire
In her interdisciplinary study of contemporary Indian nurse migration to the United States, Sujani Reddy contextualizes their migration within a longer history of a U.S. global presence in India as well as a U.S. domestic history of racial segregation and gendered separate spheres. Her study builds upon the critical insights of the historiographies of nursing, Filipino American studies, and African American studies that have explored the impact o…
A Different Mirror
The Philippines is one of the top sending countries of children for international adoption. Despite the hypervisibility of Asian international adoption in mainstream media, this fact is not widely known. This essay argues that Brillante Medoza’s 2007 award-winning feature film Foster Child deserves more critical attention in Asian American adoption studies and Filipino American studies. Foster Child exposes viewers to Philippine international ado…

Race at the Center
In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, international and transracial adoption have become more prominent than ever before. Celebrity culture and mainstream television and film—for example, Angelina Jolie's adoption of a Cambodian boy, an Ethiopian girl, and most recently a Vietnamese boy, and the adoption of a Chinese baby girl by Kristin Davis's character Charlotte York at the conclusion of the iconic HBO sitcom “Sex and the Cit…

Japanese American Midwives
In this book, Susan L. Smith explores the experiences of Japanese immigrant midwives as a window on a previously unstudied area of Japanese American women's work and the history of midwifery from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. She begins this history in Japan during the period between 1880 and 1920 when the Japanese state-certified midwife, or sanba, replaced the toriagebaba, the traditional midwife who lacked formal tr…
Towards Trans-Pacific Social Justice
Focusing on the transnational activism of two Filipino American women committed to social justice on both sides of the Pacific during the 1970s, Catherine Ceniza Choy reconceptualizes our understanding of the anti-martial movement in the Philippines and the Asian American movement. She points out that while Filipino women have garnered media and scholarly attention, both Philippine and U.S. national historiographies have obscured Filipino America…
