Description: Asian-American Education : Historical Background and Current Realities, Paperback by Weinberg, Meyer, ISBN 0805827765, ISBN-13 9780805827767, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Asian-American Education: Historical Background and Current Realities fills a gap in the study of the social and historical experiences of Asians in . schools. It is the first historical work to provide American readers with information about highly individual ethnic groups rather than viewing distinctly different groups as one vague, global entity such as "Asians." The people who populate each chapter are portrayed as active participants in their history rather than as passive victims of their culture. Each of the twelve country-specific chapters begins with a description of the kind of education received in the home country, including how widely available it was, how equal or unequal the society was, and what were the circumstances under which the emigration of children from the country occurred. The latter part of each of these chapters deals with the education these children have received in the United States. Throughout th, instead of dwelling on a relatively narrow range of children who perform spectacularly well, the author tries to discover the educational situation typical among average students. The order of chapters is roughly chronological in terms of when the first sizable numbers of immigrants came from a specific country.
