Early Childhood and the Asian American Experience: Exploring Intersectionality and Addressing Misrepresentations

Autor Sohyun "Soh" Meacham, Su-Jeong Wee, Jinhee Kim, Sophia Han, Wu-Ying Hsieh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 oct 2024
This essential and urgent book presents research-based understandings about Asian American early childhood, bringing to light the battle Asian Americans face against American nativism from their early years’ experiences. The first of its kind in academic literature, the book addresses the well-known issue of underrepresentation of Asian Americans in early childhood education research and practice, and in American society in general. Using the intersectionality and multiple identities perspectives, the authors explore a myriad of inaccurate cultural perceptions and misrepresentations, centering within-group differences among Asian American children and giving particular attention to disempowered groups among them. Issues related to socioeconomic status, gender, dis/abilities, linguistic backgrounds, and minority groups among Asian American populations are addressed, with implications for researchers and educators as well as context for examining the policies that cause inequities among Asian American children.This book is key reading for early childhood education researchers, professors, and graduate students to become more productively engaged in discussions and practices toward racial justice.

Recenzii

"There is a severe lack of research on the Asian American early childhood education. The authors of Early Childhood and the Asian American Experience address this issue by offering a critical, intersectional analysis of Asian American early childhood education rooted in Asian-centric theorizing and paradigms. This book is an important, impactful intervention in educational research." Wayne Au, Dean and Professor, University of Washington Bothell, Editor, Rethinking Schools.


Early Childhood and the Asian American Experience: Exploring Intersectionality and Addressing Misrepresentations is a necessary book that provokes readers to rethink the stereotype of Asian-American children as the model minority. I commend the authors for their valuable insights on justice-centered teaching by addressing misrepresentation and offering pathways for inclusivity in early childhood education.” Okhee Lee, Ph.D. Professor, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, New York University
