http://www.geocities.com/conalvo/hangook/koram.html

Extractions: by Tammy S. Conard-Salvo When I was growing up, being Korean-American meant that you ate kimchi with your steak. And in a military town, it usually meant that your mom was Korean and that your dad was American-be it African-American, Hispanic-American, or Caucasian-American. However, in 1999, identifying oneself as a Korean-American is a political and emotional choice, one that is consciously chosen and not taken for granted. I am Korean-American-I choose to identify myself as such. And in some ways, this is an unconscious decision, because that is what I am. I cannot help but be Korean-American. But what does that mean in terms of living in West Texas? For me, it means not having a community of other Korean-Americans with which to bond or share ideas. It means being ethnically and politically isolated. So here I am in Lubbock, where I teach composition and literature at Texas Tech University. I ended up here because I chose to complete a masters degree here, right after I finished my bachelors at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas-another small, ethnically challenged community. I have lived here since the spring of 1996, and now that I am finished with my masters, I continue to live here because my husband is finishing up his PhD. Living in Lubbock has definitely been a challenge. It is definitely larger than Brownwood, and there are Hispanic and African-American communities, along with a smaller group of Asian-Americans made up of Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese, among others. There isnt, however, a strong sense of community among these Asian-Americans, and certainly there is no sense of a university community among Asian-American students. The situation is somewhat difficult to describe, especially if anyone has ever lived in a place where there is a strong sense of pride in ones Asian heritage or if there is a strong politically involved community of Asian-Americans. I often get the sense that the concept "Asian-American," is absent in Lubbock, simply because many Asian exchange students attend the university and plan to return to their homeland once they have completed their degrees. Asians and those who may identify themselves as Asian-Americans are still seen as foreigners.

Extractions: Search our database by Health Topic or enter your own keywords WOMEN OF COLOR HEALTH DATA BOOK FACTORS AFFECTING THE HEALTH OF WOMEN OF COLOR Asian Americans Although health issues for Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans often are analyzed jointly, in this fact book the groups are separated. Native Pacific Islanders are considered Native Americans and are discussed with American Indians/Alaska Natives. (See discussion of Pacific Islanders in section on Native Americans.) Asian populations are discussed together. This change is made because native Pacific Islanders are only 5 percent of the Asian and Pacific Islander total and often have health outcomes more akin to those of American Indians/Alaska Natives than to Asian subpopulations. In addition, native Pacific Islanders are not immigrants to the United States as are Asian populations. Thus, an effort has been made throughout to disaggregate Asians from Pacific Islanders whenever possible, and to display data for the groups separately. Aggregate statistics for Asians and Pacific Islanders are used, however, when they are the best available. Asian Americans are immigrants to the United States (and their descendants) from more than 20 countries who speak more than 100 different languages. They come from places such as China, India, Japan, the Philippines, Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand and represent more than 60 different ethnicities (22). In 1990, the largest subpopulations (in descending order) were persons of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Asian Indian, Korean, and Southeast Asian ancestry. By the year 2000, Filipinos are projected to be the largest Asian subpopulation, followed by Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese Americans, in that order (120).

Becoming Asian American greatly advances knowledge of the dynamic interaction of race, ethnicity, and individual identity in American life. Her case studies offer a fresh, solid approach to discovering what it is like for immigrant racial minorities to become American in our time and indicates a great deal about the future of the American nation."Reed Ueda, Tufts University "Nazli Kibria presents a rich body of interview data on the changing and diverse nature of Asian-American identity, particularly among Chinese and Korean Americans, making a very solid and sustained contribution to the burgeoning literature within Asian-American studies. Through Kibria's wonderful interviews, we hear very interesting meditations on ethnic identity. She also does a good job of raising important sociological questions about race and immigration. This book may very well become a landmark in the field."John Lie, University of Michigan

http://www.freethechildren.org/cultures/html/map/asia/asia-american.html

Extractions: Asian Americans People from Asia have been migrating to the United States for nearly 200 years now. The first Asian immigrants came from China, and they were brought over by American companies seeking cheap laborers. Early Asian immigrants, mostly Chinese and Japanese, were met with resentment and racism by whites in the U.S. In addition to violent attacks, early Asian immigrants were subjected to a long list of anti-Asian legislation. One of the effects of this legislation was to make it nearly impossible for any new immigrants from Asia to come to the United States for nearly a century until the mid-1960s. As a result, the vast majority of the Asian-Pacific American population has come to the United States during the past four decades. As with the other groups of racial categorization, the race Asian is problematic. It is based largely on geography, rather than on the race of the people. For instance, people from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India do not racially look like people from China, Japan, and Vietnam but are categorized in the same race because of their geography.

http://hcs.harvard.edu/~yisei/backissues/spring_92/ys92_24.html

Extractions: Korean American Profiles at Harvard By Esther Eun-Young Chang Jeanny Ji-Eun Kim is a Quincy House junior from Long Island, New York, who believes that the benefit of being Korean-American is that "within the larger realm of American society, there is always a smaller subculture afforded by being Korean American that allows you to find a smaller niche and feel like there is a certain part of society that you can definitely relate to on a different level." In Jeannys opinion, there is no such thing as an "American" culture; that is, no one is a true American per se, unless that person is a Native American, because everyone is originally from a different country. This is where she sees another positive aspect about being Korean American. Jeanny points out that as a Korean American, "you do have a stable set of roots that everybody shares with youmainly the Korean ethics that most Korean kids grew up with." When asked whether she felt that there were any advantages to being Asian, Jeanny replied that affirmative action does not do anything for Asians because they are not considered minorities anymore. However, she sees certain stereotypes that go along with being Asian Americanthat they study hard and that they want to succeedas advantages for her because they encourage her to work hard and set higher standards for herself. As someone who was born and raised in the United States, Jeanny does not feel that it is very hard to assimilate into American culture once one can speak the language. To her, assimilation into American culture means "adopting any of the social and cultural icons associated with being American." Although she feels that she has completely assimilated because she speaks English fluently and understands how the American system works, she still admits that being Asian might be the cause of obstacles for "the American societyis not a meritocracy, but a lot of bureaucracy and politics." Because Asian Americans are not yet well-established in this country, Jeanny feels that people with the "right connections" have gotten much further than she has in many respects.

Extractions: This website was designed to give transracially adopted American Indians a forum for discussing their experiences, thoughts, and feelings about being adopted and gaining a greater understanding of their heritage. Which world do we belong to? The parents who adopted us were often good people (although some weren't). And our level of knowledge, sense of acceptance, and identity with our heritage varies greatly as well. Ultimately, this site will have links to tribal web pages, adoptee pages, and various other helpfulresources as they come up. "I pray that this page will one day be of help to those looking for their blood relatives, a place for those who are looking for their families to express their feelings, and a resource of information regarding the current court cases going on regarding the subject of the adoption of American Indian Children".
