Along with dreadlocks and a non-white lover, the coolest accessory of the white
liberal “left” these days is a bought colored kid.
An International Adoption
Journey
By Lydia Lowe
We talked about things which drew us together: our yearning for our daughters,
the idiosyncrasies of how things are done in China. But other times, it struck
us that we were on a very different kind of journey than our fellow travelers.
A Grasshopper's Journey
By Grass
for 23 years, i had lived in the heart of new york city, a perpetual foreigner
to its shores. by the time bush sr. and the gulf war rolled along, the contradictions
in my life had become too rife for me not to engage them fully. if i was not
part of the solution, i was part of the problem. a radical rupture occurred
in life as some would say. what the conclusions are to that part of my life
has yet to be seen. for certain, my trip to korea is in part a search for those
very same answers and that will be another story. i was compelled to come back
to this country, more than i wanted to.
Pan Asian What?
By Naomi Iwasaki
I guess you could say I grew up pretty sheltered in the LA Japanese American
community. Two main Yonsei characteristics, Japanese American-league basketball
since elementary school and church affiliation (in my case, Buddhist), I covered
in high school. I also wrote for the Rafu Shimpo, a JA community newspaper,
went to obons (summer Buddhist temple festivals) and New Year's mochitsukis
to pound mochi. Almost every other JA I met either knew my parents, was related
to me, or their parents knew mine. My LA-JA resume was complete.
Reminding Myself What I Stand For
By Alison Fong
It took one memorable weekend to reawaken my senses and remind myself what
I stand for. With my two suitemates busily working on their SMG group projects,
I immersed myself into personal reflection and revelation through two culturally
inspiring activities and an email.
Discussion
on the Asian Amreican Movement with Don Misumi
By Shauna Lo
Because I know that Don is a veteran Asian American activist,
I thought it would be fascinating to hear his thoughts on the differences
between the Asian American movement in the 1970s and today. I had
endless questions about his activities, inspirations, goals and vision
for the future, both then and now. In fact, I asked him so many questions,
I think I made him late for his next appointment. Of course, Don
was too polite to cut me off….
