- 요약"Asian Americans and the Color Line: An Intellectual History of Asian American Studies, 1969-2000" reconstructs Asian American Studies scholars' changing ideas about the place of Asian Americans in the U.S. racial landscape. In particular, it explains why Third Worldism - the belief that Asian American, Chicanx, African American, and Native American communities faced analogous, though not identical, situations of racial oppression - went from being ensconced within Asian American Studies to appearing untenable to its former adherents, over the course of three decades. I argue that this shift developed from theories Asian American intellectuals mobilized in response to conflicts in the 1990s that pit Asian Americans against other communities of color.Drawing on Asian American Studies publications across fields ranging from legal studies to literary theory, as well as privately held collections, unprocessed records, and archival research, I explore the field-defining debates over Asian American political behavior, class, gender, educational access, and multiracial solidarity, from the beginning of the field in the late 1960s to the turn of the 21st century. I show how Third Worldism inspired Asian American Studies scholars - Asian Americanists - to develop analytical frameworks based on the idea that a unique anti-Asian racism affected all Asian Americans and provided the potential basis for ethnic and multiracial solidarity. These frameworks, however, produced unintended consequences. As rapid demographic changes within Asian America generated greater levels of ethnic and class diversity, and as those changes precipitated conflicts with other communities of color, the belief that anti-Asian racism grounded a common Asian American group interest actually led Asian American intellectuals to conclude that Asian American group interest might diverge from those of other communities of color.In providing the first intellectual history of Asian American Studies, the project locates the historical roots of contemporary controversies over relations between Asian American communities and other communities of color. It places Asian American Studies scholars at the heart of the broad and complex discussion about the validity of the white/nonwhite binary in the post-civil-rights era. Ultimately, it demonstrates how Asian Americanists' discussions of racial identity shaped the national discussion on racial and ethnic politics.
