A collection of movement flashpoints and insurgent visions for Asian American activism\nIn the late 1960s, Asian American political activism emerged to unite disparate Asian diasporic communities living in the United States behind a radical political identity shaped by the Black Power and anti-imperialist movements of their times. Today, Asian Americans are more diverse, and, at times, more politically divided than ever before. In media and electoral politics, Asian Americans are celebrated as the fastest-growing racial demographic in the United States and claimed as evidence of racial progress. Yet the \""rise\"" of Asian America rarely centers the coordinated forms of grassroots political organizing that Asian Americans have used to shape their place in society. \nIn Asian America Rising,\n\nAsian America Rising\nNew Directions for Political Activism\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease ;
