Hee. To maximize this book's policy and curricular impact, each chapter is written to stand on its own, and to highlight the specialized knowledge and policy perspective that each writer brings to this project. As a result, each chapter can be read or used somewhat independently of all the others. However, by organizing this report in this fashion, we recognize that a few redundancies (e.g., the presentation of demographic data) as well as inconsistencies (e.g., the preference of each writer in using the terms "Asian Pacific American/' "Asian and Pacific Islanders," etc.) will be apparent to anyone who reads this book in its entirety. We nonetheless hope our goal of allowing each expert to offer the fullest and most compelling presentation possible will be appreciated. xii Preface The State of Asian Pacific America With this publication, our two institutions-Leadership Education for Asian Pacifies (LEAP) and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center-are proud to formally inaugurate the nation's first Asian Pacific American public policy research institute. We are hopeful that this report, like many others which we plan to release in years to come, will serve to inform public discussions and shape public policy deliberations on major issues and concerns of the nation's rapidly growing and diverse Asian Pacific American population. We believe this policy report is particularly timely because of the extraordinary political and social changes that are occurring at all levels of our society and government. The year 1993 marks not only the inauguration of President Bill Clinton and a shift from a Republican to a Democratic administration, but also a dramatic increase in the representation of women and peoples of color from the United States Senate to local city halls. The heightened presence of Asian Pacific Americans in government and politics across the nation-from their substantial increases of new registered voters to the large numbers of leaders who have sought and have won elections­ has been equally impressive and significant. The year 1993 also represents a historical crossroads for our country's domestic and international policy agendas. Every major policy issue from education to employment will likely undergo vigorous reexamination and perhaps major revamping, be it in response to how the nation should compete effectively with the rest of the world or how it should address the underlying causes of its urban unrest. This policy report on Asian Pacific America is intended to have both an immediate and future impact and significance. We have assembled a stellar group of policy experts and leaders from across the nation who have rigorously and creatively offered insights, perspectives, and recommendations on how we should understand and respond to the extraordinary growth and diversification that the Asian Pacific American population is projected to undergo from now to the year 2020. In sharing xiii their specialized expertise in major policy areas like immigration and higher education, they have provided decision-makers, advocacy organizations, researchers, and the general public with practical and analytical guidance on how to address the most compelling policy challenges of Asian Pacific Americans during the decade of the 1990s and the early 21st century. As the first of many reports and activities which will be undertaken by the LEAP Public Policy Institute and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center, this publication is reflective of the special strengths and goals of the two institutions that have come together to establish this joint policy research center. Founded in 1982, LEAF is a nonprofit, community organization which has sought to develop, strengthen, and expand the leadership roles played by Asian Pacific Americans through innovative professional seminars, public workshops, and other programs. The UCLA Asian American Studies Center, established in 1969, is one of four ethnic studies centers at UCLA, and one of the nation's oldest programs in Asian American Studies. Through its research, teaching, publishing, and public educational activities in fields ranging from literature to urban planning, the faculty, staff, and students of the Center have sought to advance scholarly and policy understanding of Asian Pacific Americans. In closing, we would like to pay special tribute to Professor Paul Ong of the UCLA Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning for proposing this special policy project, and for generating the population projections of the demographic future of Asian Pacific Americans which serve as the unifying theme of this

  • No Sword to Bury
    No Sword to Bury Japanese Americans in Hawai'i during World War II Author's Talk and Book Signing by Franklin Odo Presented by Densho: The Japanese American Legacy Project Wednesday, March 10, 2004, 7:00 pm Northwest Asian American Theatre 409 Seventh Avenue South, Seattle "Franklin Odo has captured with much warmth and poignancy the emotions of men who, though abandoned by their country, loved this country and proved it by repeatedly standing in harm's way to defend it." —Senator Daniel K. Inouye When bombs rained down on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Japanese American college students were among the many young men enrolled in ROTC and were called upon to defend the islands immediately after the attack. In a matter of weeks, however, the military government questioned their loyalty and disarmed them. In No Sword to Bury, Franklin Odo places the largely untold story of the wartime experience of these young men in the context of the community created by their immigrant families and its relationship to the larger, white-dominated society. At the heart of the book are vivid oral histories that recall the young men's service on the home front in the Varsity Victory Volunteers, a non-military group dedicated to public works, as well as in the segregated 442nd Regimental Combat Team that fought in Europe and the Military Intelligence Service. Odo shows how their wartime experiences and their postwar success in business and politics contributed to the simplistic view of Japanese Americans as a model minority in Hawai'i and glossed over significant differences in their lives and perspectives.

  • Hawai'i's Japanese Americans and National Public Representation
    Hawai’i’s Japanese Americans and National Public Representation Franklin Odo Public history, including art history – and specifically public history in museums – is only one of the influential venues through which we derive our sense of our collective “place” in society. Certainly television and film as well as formal schooling are more important in terms of direct impact on social perceptions of ethnicity, race, and gender. But in spite of considerable shifts in recent museum leadership attitudes, museums themselves continue to be regarded as temples of truth and beauty, arbiters of objective history and aesthetic sensibilities. As a result, museums continue to be important influences in shaping social attitudes. Many people do go to museums, at the least for the mandatory field trips in elementary grades, but also for a wide variety of personal reasons. And those who do attend regularly tend to be individuals and groups with considerable authority, including teachers leading these field trips, who validate and authenticate interpretations provided by the museums. It is useful to recall that, while students may go to museums only a few times in their careers, teachers do so on a regular basis and are exposed repeatedly to this particular influence. Other opinion-shapers, including those in the media and the ranks of society’s leaders, absorb and transmit museum notions of beauty and value as well as historical truth through interlocking networks of community councils such as chambers of commerce, school boards and ethnic associations. Thus, museum representations are critical sites that help define who and what make up our society and how we came to be the way we are.
