The book covers historical and cultural context, political behavior and attitudes, interest groups and parties, elected officials, and public policies that have an important impact on Asian Americans today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe role of identity provides an organizing theme which allows students to see connections between different aspects of Asian American politics. Andrew Aoki and Okiyoshi Takeda explain how the fate of Asian Americans has been powerfully influenced by the way they have been portrayed in the media, and more generally, in US society. Students are introduced to the \"forever foreigner\" image, which has helped to marginalize Asian Americans, and the \"model minority\" myth, which can give policymakers misleading impressions. The book also stresses how Asian Americans have worked to take control of their image and political fortunes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsian American Politics is a lively and accessible introductory text, ideal for students taking courses in race and politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Aoki, Okiyoshi Takeda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745634470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Aoki\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Political Science at Augsburg College.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOkiyoshi Takeda\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Political Science at Aoyama Gakuin University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40120003199091,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_820a20ba-79fd-4b59-8d83-cd7b1abcbf73.jpg?v=1653661842","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/asian-american-politics-9780745634470","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
