When we imagine the activities of Asian American women in the mid-twentieth century, our first thoughts are not of skiing, beauty pageants, magazine reading, and sororities. Yet, Shirley Jennifer Lim argues, these are precisely the sorts of leisure practices many second generation Chinese, Filipina, and Japanese American women engaged in during this time. In A Feeling of Belonging , Lim highlights the cultural activities of young, predominantly unmarried Asian American women from 1930 to 1960. This period marks a crucial generation-the first in which American-born Asians formed a critical mass

When we imagine the activities of Asian American women in the mid-twentieth century, our first thoughts are not of skiing, beauty pageants, magazine reading, and sororities. Yet, Shirley Jennifer Lim argues, these are precisely the sorts of leisure practices many second generation Chinese, Filipina, and Japanese American women engaged in during this time.In A Feeling of Belonging, Lim highlights the cultural activities of young, predominantly unmarried Asian American women from 1930 to 1960. This period marks a crucial generation--the first in which American-born Asians formed a critical mass and began to make their presence felt in the United States. Though they were distinguished from previous generations by their American citizenship, it was only through these seemingly mundane "American"activities that they were able to overcome two-dimensional stereotypes of themselves as kimono-clad "Orientals."Lim traces the diverse ways in which these young women sought claim to cultural citizenship, exploring such topics as the nation's first Asian American sorority, Chi Alpha Delta; the cultural work of Chinese American actress Anna May Wong; Asian American youth culture and beauty pageants; and the achievement of fame of three foreign-born Asian women in the late 1950s. By wearing poodle skirts, going to the beach, and producing magazines, she argues, they asserted not just their American-ness, but their humanity: a feeling of belonging.

De burgerrechtenbeweging in de jaren zestig en de positieve acties van de jaren zeventig in de Verenigde Staten zorgden ervoor dat vrouwen, holebi's en mensen van verschillende etnische afkomst een duwtje in de rug kregen in hun loopbaankansen in o.a. het hoger onderwijs. Hoe staan deze verschillende bevolkingsgroepen aan het begin van de 21e eeuw ervoor, wat hun loopbaan betreft? Aan de hand van het persoonlijke verhaal van academici van Afrikaanse en Aziatische afkomst, wordt een beeld geschetst van de ervaringen van discriminaties, van de struikelblokken bij het beklimmen van de academische ladder. Het boek heeft oog voor het hele universitaire landschap en dus komen ook de studenten en het administratief personeel aan bod.
