Experienced Racism Among Asian American Adolescents and Emerging Adults Amid the Covid ‐19 Pandemic
Asian Critical Theory highlights the tenet of intersectionality and four other tenets (i.e., Asianization, [re]constructive history, strategic [anti]essentialism, and commitment to social justice) that are relevant to Asian American (AA) youths' (adolescents' and emerging adults') experiences of racism during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Based on 22 studies published between March 2020 and November 2024, this review utilizes these tenets as a framework…

Asian Americans have been portrayed as the model minority for seemingly having achieved socioeconomic success and being free of problems. Such stereotypes may have lasting and negative impact on Asian American individuals, families, and communities. Utilizing the social justice framework and critical race feminist theory, we interrogate and problematize the model minority stereotype and its impacts by situating Asian Americans in the Black‐and‐Wh…

Seeing Mothers-in-Law Through the Lens of the Mothering Ideology
This interview study examines the ideological assumptions in women's accounts of their coethnic mothers-in-law in a sample of 36 Taiwanese, Taiwanese Americans, and Mexican Americans. Respondents across ethnic and national backgrounds deploy an ideology of 'expressive mothering' that emphasizes close affective bonds in evaluating their mothers-in-law, often relying on their own mothers as the standard for comparison. While respondents generally e…
Family Diversity

Many changes in the social context, during this period following World War II, influenced the development of SNAF and supported a set of values and beliefs that created and privileged the two biological parent – male breadwinner, female homemaker – fam…
Power, Resistance, and Emotional Economies in Women's Relationships With Mothers-in-Law in Chinese Immigrant Families
This interview study interrogates how cultural values of filial piety inform Chinese American daughters-in-law's understanding of their relationship and power dynamics with immigrant Chinese American mothers-in-law. Ideals of filial respect accord limited authority to mothers-in-law, who engage other mechanisms of power, such as their domestic expertise. Using the concept of emotional economies, this study finds that this strategy works when daug…
