Abstract:
The second edition of Unraveling the "Model Minority" Stereotype: Listening to Asian American Youth extends Stacey Lee's groundbreaking research on the educational experiences and achievement of Asian American youth. Lee provides a comprehensive update of social science research to reveal the ways in which the larger structures of race & class play out in the lives of Asian American high school students, especially regarding presumptions that the educational experiences of Koreans, Chinese, & Hmong youth are all largely the same. In her detailed & probing ethnography, Lee presents the experiences of these students in their own words, providing an authentic insider perspective on identity & inter ethnic relations in an often misunderstood American community.
