Conference
Author: Meaghan Kozar (Iowa State University)
Often thought of as passive, submissive, and the "model minority," Asian Americans are a very separate but united group who continue to fight to be recognized as Americans in a country that perceives them as foreigners. This session will show how Asian Americans have helped this country in the fight for equality and the fight against injustice. We will also look at the influences of Asian cultures in today's mainstream society, from fashion to film to music, by looking at artists such as the Wu-Tang Clan, Sisqo, and Madonna. By recognizing the historical and societal contributions to America, this session hopes to give a voice to a group of people who will be silent no more!
