  • The Construction of Asian Americans As Foreigners
    Smith ScholarWorks Theses, Dissertations, and Projects 2013 A guest in someone else's house : the construction of Asian Americans as foreigners Deepa Ranganathan Smith College Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.smith.edu/theses Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Ranganathan, Deepa, "A guest in someone else's house : the construction of Asian Americans as foreigners" (2013). Masters Thesis, Smith College, Northampton, MA. https://scholarworks.smith.edu/theses/987 This Masters Thesis has been accepted for inclusion in Theses, Dissertations, and Projects by an authorized administrator of Smith ScholarWorks. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Deepa Ranganathan A Guest in Someone Else’s House: The Construction of Asian Americans as Foreigners ABSTRACT Social workers, like many people, wrongly tend to think of Asian Americans as beings exempt from the problems of racism. The social work profession considers “race” to be a property inhering almost solely in African Americans. Meanwhile, the profession assigns the property of foreign “culture” primarily to Asian Americans. This thesis uses the work of Critical Race Theory (CRT) scholars to show that social workers, in presuming that Asian Americans are a class of people who are essentially foreign, are actually reproducing a form of exclusionist racism that Asian Americans have faced for generations. A partial solution to this problem might involve social workers’ educating themselves about way racism manifests in the lives of Asian Americans. However, this thesis relies on the work of several poststructuralist scholars to show that, to fulfill their ethical obligation to combat oppression, social workers must also know something of the way identity is constructed—how the power relations between those designated “normal” and those designated “other” mutually maintain a system of conflict and opposition that holds everyone in artificially fixed and limiting positions.

TEAM MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Don Hitch started in construction in the 1980s. He built custom homes in South Seattle for 20 years before joining Mortenson in 2007. He started as a journeyman carpenter and worked his way up to a superintendent, which he has been for the last 4 years. His favorite part about this project is the constant challenges. One thing Don values is leading by example which truly embodies the Mortenson principle of “do the right thing”. When he tells someone he is going to do something, he is going to do it and expects the same in return. Don’s primary role on the project is a concrete superintendent. He was a huge part of the success of the zero defects embeds installs. As a native Seattleite who went to many a Seattle Totem hockey game back in the day, he is quite proud to be part of this project due to the uniqueness and history.
