Beskrivning

This book fills a critical gap in scholarship from social workers in the effort to eradicate anti-Asian racism through exploration in the historical and current political context. Asian Americans are the fastest growing population among all racial and ethnic groups. Recent events have highlighted incidents of anti-Asian racism which has a long history tied to various marginalized identities in the U.S. This book examines the experiences and impacts of racism from the perspective of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and delves into evidence-based micro, mezzo, and macro solutions. This book intends to serve as a timely and comprehensive resource for social work educators, researchers and practitioners committed to eliminating anti-Asian racism experienced by a population that will no longer accept the label of being "invisible."This book is the first of its kind to systematically examine the history of anti-Asian racism in the U.S., its impact on the intersectionality of different marginalized identities within Asian American communities, and provides innovative, evidence-based solutions that social work educators, practitioners, and researchers can adopt to dismantle anti-Asian racism.
