Affirmative action isn't hurting Asian Americans. Here's why that myth survives
The Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action, focusing on whether Harvard’s consideration of race in admissions intentionally discriminates against Asian Americans, is expected this month. A big part of our research has been to identify anti-Asian discrimination, so we understand how charges that Asian Americans are held to a higher standard in college admissions might feel like another instance of anti-Asian bias. But we just don’t see an As…
Excerpt from The Committed
We W e were the unwanted, the unneeded, and the unseen, invisible to all but ourselves.Less than nothing, we also saw nothing as we crouched blindly in the unlit belly of our ark, 150 of us sweating in a space not meant for us mammals but for the fish of the sea.With the waves driving us from side to side, we spoke in our native tongues.For some, this meant prayer; for others, curses.When a change in the motion of the waves shuttled our vessel mo…

This article reports on a study of an intensive three-week culture intervention program, delivered via VooV Meeting (an online meeting platform) as an additional opportunity for CFL students at a Vietnamese university in December 2021. The primary aim was to explore students’ perceptions and experiences of learning about Chinese culture in a non-target language environment since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Two hundred and nine mixed-le…
Sustainability in the Business Sector
The uses and management of capital is extremely important to the operation of any businesses. However, not all businesses have available capital, so the use of loans in many different forms is always an effective solution in managing corporate finance. Accompanying with businesses, many financial leasing companies have implemented products and programs to lend money to businesses with low interest rates. So, choosing the best financial leasing co…

Transpacific Studies
Transpacific Studies
The Pacific has long been a space of conquest, exploration, fantasy, and resistance. Pacific Islanders had established civilizations and cultures of travel well before European explorers arrived, initiating centuries of upheaval and transformation. The twentieth century, with wars fought in and over the Pacific, is only the most recent era to witness military strife and economic competition. Recognizing the increasing importance of the transpacif…
Refugee Memories and Asian American Critique
This article considers the challenges facing Southeast Asian American studies and the interventions the nascent field can make, particularly into Asian American studies, Southeast Asian studies, and American studies. Nguyen argues for dislodging the implicit identity politics and nationalism of these three fields, recognizing the importance of foregrounding war as a framework for linking Southeast Asian American experiences to a fundamental activ…

Seeing Double
Seeing Double: The Films of Hong-An Truong Viet Thanh Nguyen For those whose image of Viet Nam comes only from the reel projected by Hollywood, the version of that country that appears in Hong-An Truong’s films may seem alien territory. Truong’s colonial-era Viet Nam didn’t exist by that name, but was partitioned by the French into Tonkin, Annam, and Cochinchina, which, along with Cambodia and Laos, composed Indochina. The colonial past she explo…
Speak of the Dead, Speak of Viet Nam
Speak of the Dead, Speak of Viet Nam:The Ethics and Aesthetics of Minority Discourse Viet Thanh Nguyen (bio) "[Y]ou must not tell anyone what I am about to tell you." Maxine Hong Kingston, The Woman Warrior As a child, I was always aware of the presence of the dead. Although my Catholic father and mother did not practice ancestor worship, they kept photographs of their fathers and their mothers on the mantel, as was the custom, and prayed to God …

Race and Resistance
This book argues that Asian American intellectuals have idealized Asian America, ignoring its saturation with capitalist practices. The idealization of Asian America means that Asian American intellectuals can neither grapple with Asian American ideological diversity nor recognize their own involvement with capitalist practices such as “panethnic entrepreneurship”, the selling of race and racial identity. The book's controversial thesis contradic…
