Here is a definitive history of the social and cultural movement that knit a hugely disparate and isolated set of communities into a political identity - and along the way created a racial group out of marginalized people who had been uncomfortably lumped together as Orientals. The Asian American Movement was an unabashedly radical social movement, sprung from campuses and city ghettos and allied with Third World freedom struggles and the anti-Vietnam War movement, seen as a racist intervention in Asia. It also introduced to mainstream America a generation of now internationally famous artists, writers, and musicians, like novelist Maxine Hong Kingston. Karen Ishizuka's definitive history is based on years of research and more than 120 extensive interviews with movement leaders and participants. It's written in a vivid narrative style and illustrated with many striking images from guerrilla movement publications. 'Serve the people' is a book that fills out the full story of the Long Sixties."--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Asian Americans $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Asian Americans $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Asian Americans $x Political activity $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Asian Americans $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1960-1980. 700 1 $a Chang, Jeff, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 4 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092657.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528061435.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20161214010328.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161103033038.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=183D54EA6B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
