  • The Construction of Asian Americans As Foreigners

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.

  • Captive Nations Week, 1999
    Proclamations Proc. 7209 Proclamation 7209 of July 16, 1999 Captive Nations Week, 1999 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation This month Americans mark 223 years of freedom from tyranny. We cele- brate the vision of our founders who, in signing the Declaration of Inde- pendence, proclaimed the importance of liberty, the value of human dig- nity, and the need for a new form of government dedicated to the will of the people. As heirs to that legacy and the fortunate citizens of a demo- cratic Nation, we continue to cherish the values of freedom and equality. Many people across the globe, however, are still denied the rights we exer- cise daily and too often take for granted. During Captive Nations Week, we reaffirm our solidarity with those around the world who suffer under the shadow of dictators and tyrants. Americans have expressed their devotion to freedom and human rights through actions as well as words, having fought and died for these ideals time and again. In World War II, we battled the brutality of fascism. In Korea, Vietnam, and throughout the Cold War, we stood up to the des- potism of communism. In the Persian Gulf, and in partnership with our NATO allies in the skies over Serbia and Kosovo, we have fought brutal and oppressive regimes. Thanks to our strength and resolve and the courage of countless men and women in countries around the world, we can be proud that the list of cap- tive nations has grown smaller. The fall of the Berlin Wall a decade ago finally enabled us to pursue democratic reform in Central and Eastern Eu- rope and to lay the firm foundations of freedom, peace, and prosperity.
