Welcome to the Amerasia Journal blog! We’ve launched a transnational blog to expand the Amerasia‘s universe of writers, readers, scholars, cultural workers, and activists. You are “the ones we have been waiting for,” to paraphrase Alice Walker.
Now: Hot-button topics as they hit us in the head or make our hearts thump.
What: Subjects we’ve covered in Amerasia, such as marriage equality, ethnic studies, community, immigration, racial and religious profiling, war and peace.
Inside the minds of: Amerasia‘s staff
* Find the informal thoughts and writings of Russell Leong, Amerasia‘s long-time editor and a leading voice in Asian American arts and letters.
* Insights into academia, popular culture, and Asian American Studies from Arnold Pan, assistant editor.
* Compelling images and community politics by Mary Uyematsu Kao, long-time designer of the journal and photojournalist of Asian America.
* Selected guest commentaries, prose, poetry, and graphics. In the near future, we plan to provide links and commentaries by members of our notable editorial board.
* News and announcements about what’s in the pages of Amerasia and what’s coming in the future.
The Amerasia blog will be connected to a wide range of social networking tools, including our Facebook group. We hope you will join us in forming a virtual community to explore Asian American culture, politics, social movements, and scholarship, creating online what Amerasia Journal has been doing in print for the last forty years.
