As Ellen Wu shows, liberals argued for the acceptance of these immigrant communities into the national fold, charging that the failure of America to live in accordance with its democratic ideals endangered the country's aspirations to world leadership. Weaving together myriad perspectives, Wu provides an unprecedented view of racial reform and the contradictions of national belonging in the civil rights era. She highlights the contests for power and authority within Japanese and Chinese America alongside the designs of those external to these populations, including government officials, social scientists, journalists, and others. And she demonstrates that the invention of the model minority took place in multiple arenas, such as battles over zoot suiters leaving wartime internment camps, the juvenile delinquency panic of the 1950s, Hawaii statehood, and the African American freedom movement. Together, these illuminate the impact of foreign relations on the domestic racial order and how the nation accepted Asians as legitimate citizens while continuing to perceive them as indelible outsiders. By charting the emergence of the model minority stereotype, The Color of Success reveals that this far-reaching, politically charged process continues to have profound implications for how Americans understand race, opportunity, and nationhood"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Asian Americans $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Asian Americans $x Cultural assimilation. 650 0 $a Asian Americans $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Asian Americans $x Public opinion. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1945-1989. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Discrimination & Race Relations. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x Civil Rights. $x Civil Rights. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Asian American Studies. $x Asian American Studies. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Politics and society in twentieth-century America. 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018012315.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210414010039.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505014757.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20180801011206.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20170302014628.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5EC3B2C08E3311E3B5D817AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
