Making Waves: The Rise of Asian America

Making Waves is a timely, thought-provoking about the vital role that ethnic studies have in shaping the narrative about Asians in America. Asian American Studies (AAS) dramatically influenced and empowered a generation of activists who leveraged their heightened awareness of systemic racism to build community organizations, political power, and cross-racial alliances. Making Waves tells the story of past and present Asian American movements fueled by a legacy of anti-Asian hate. Activist, educators, and the profound voices of youth articulate the necessity to counter the harmful stereotypes that persist in America and share the stories of Asian America as a vital chapter of this country’s history.
