Ethnic Nationalism and Support for the Black Lives Matter Movement among Black and Asian Americans

Acceptance of a nationalist ideology typically makes an individual animus towards outgroups. Moreover, ethnic/Black nationalism is known to flare in times of perceived intense oppression. Given current racial tensions in the United States, we are interested in examining factors that may help f…

Unpacking Chinese America: The Political Participation of Taiwanese Americans in the Early Twenty-First-Century United States
Who are (or can count as) Taiwanese Americans? To what extent and in what ways do they participate politically in the United States? This study attempts to unpack the concept of Chineseness by examining various formations of identity boundaries of Taiwanese Americans. We empirically assess their “success” in political participation and incorporation by analyzing patterns of political participation of U.S. voting-age adults who were born in or ori…
Structural and Contextual Factors Regarding the Accessibility of Elective Office for Women of Color at the Local Level
Different from the majority of past research on gender gaps in political officeholding, we adopt an intersectionality framework and move beyond traditional individual factors to explore what implications certain elements in the political opportunity structure may have for women and men of color elected officials serving in county, municipal, and local school board offices. We argue that structural and contextual factors, such as type of instituti…

Building on data from the Gender and Multicultural Leadership (GMCL) National Database and Survey, it provides a baseline portrait of Black, Latino, Asian American, and American Indian elected officials - the women and men holding public office at national, st…
Reassessing Descriptive Representation by Women and Men of Color: New Evidence at the Subnational Level
This research uses the concept of intersectionality to help improve understanding of the relationship between race and gender as it pertains to the jurisdictional context of elective offices held by Blacks, Latinos, Asian-Americans, and American-Indians at the subnational level. Utilizing an enhanced version of a comprehensive data set associated with the Gender and Multicultural Leadership Project, we document more substantial evidence of ethnor…
When race no longer predicts minority status and identity
How should immigrant communities in the racial middle situate themselves in a changed racial terrain beyond blacks and whites in the post-1965 era? Illustrating the perils of building inter-minority coalitions in the fractured new racial order by the case of Chinese American mobilization against bringing back affirmative action in California (SCA5), this essay comments on the complications and challenges to traditional racial coalitions by “honor…
Chinese American Attitudes toward Homeland Government and Politics: A Comparison among Immigrants from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong
The Chinese Diaspora in the United States has a long history of involvement in homeland political development and change. Much of the prior research, however, has been historical in focus and qualitative in methodological orientation and does not engage quantitative approaches in systematically analyzing the relationships between divergent origins and political attitudes of the contemporary population. This study uses primary data collected from …
Pre-emigration Socialization, Transnational Ties, and Political Participation Across the Pacific: A Comparison Among Immigrants from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong
Extant research on immigrant incorporation pays little attention to variations among immigrants from the same ethnic origin. A main purpose of this study is to address this research void by exploring how differences in the pre-emigration socialization context for immigrants from a politically divided homeland may affect their participation in mainstream-oriented and homeland-regarded politics. I posit that experiences Asian immigrants have in dif…
Places of socialization and (sub)ethnic identities among Asian immigrants in the US: Evidence from the 2007 Chinese American Homeland Politics Survey
This research provides an empirical assessment of the relationship between places of socialization and ethnic self-identity preferences among Asian immigrants in the US from separate parts of a politically divided homeland. Does place of socialization influence the (sub)ethnic self-identity of Chinese Americans raised in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong? How do socialization context and transnational political concerns, among other factors, help struc…
Homeland origins and political identities among Chinese in Southern California
This research project seeks to understand the scope and sources of ethnic and other political identities among US residents of Chinese descent whose families originated from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and elsewhere in Asia. In what ways, to which extent and why do these individuals from various homeland origins identify themselves politically in the United States? Informed by past research on ethnic identity formation and political t…
The Voting Rights Act and the Election of Nonwhite Officials
The Voting Rights Act (VRA) is one of the most important—if not the most important—public policies developed over the last half century to increase access to the U.S. political system for people of color. The VRA also provides an important context for understanding the ascension of nonwhite groups into the elected leadership of the nation (Browning, Marshall, and Tabb 1984; Davidson and Grofman 1994; Menifield 2001; McClain and Stewart 2002; Segu…

Gender, Race, and Descriptive Representation in the United States: Findings from the Gender and Multicultural Leadership Project
This research draws on the nation's first comprehensive database of elected leadership of color to provide a multi-cultural, multi-office, and multi-state look at the contours and context of descriptive representation by race and gender and with women of color at the center of analysis.

It explores the empirical relationship between Chinese Americans' concern about the political condition of the ethnic homelands in Asia and their patterns of poli…
Group-Based Resources and Political Participation among Asian Americans

Does the Gender Gap in Political Attitudes and Behavior Vary Across Racial Groups
Past research on the gender gap in political attitudes and behavior has paid very little attention to the experiences of nonwhites. Particularly lacking are empirical studies involving Asians.

In this preliminary examination on the confluence of race and gender, this author tr…

Scholars in the United States who study racial and ethnic politics have to a great extent constructed theoretical models grounded in analyses of the Black-White racial dynamic in its form.

We hope to suggest alternative perspectives by examining Asian-origin populations in Latin Ame…
