Book Description
Writing about the past helps to explain why I am discontent and continuously angry. I am reminded that America is a society dominated by religious fundamentalism and racism. After a time, I rejected the White American world and went to Asia, seeking another basis for my identity. My identity is still in question. I cannot become an Asian and although I was born in this country, I am not accepted as an American citizen. As my birth certificate clearly states - I am not of an accepted racial color.

Book Description
The Life and Times of Walter Reuther: An Unfinished Liberal Legacy recounts the events and social movements that have shaped modern America and examines Reuther’s involvement in them. For over thirty years, Walter Reuther and his United Automobile Workers union were in the vanguard of voices advancing liberal economic and social policies that raised the standard of living for many Americans, extended the protection of the law, and provided a measure of security for the aged, infirm, disabled, and unemployed. In the narrative, Reuther serves as the lens through which a period of labor advances, civil rights struggle, and hot and cold wars are viewed from a liberal perspective. The book follows Walter and Victor Reuther on their European adventure to their ancestral homeland during the rise of Hitler and into the Gorky autoworks factory in Soviet Russia. The pair returned home to the labor battles in Flint and Dearborn that established a UAW presence in the factories and brought Walter Reuther to the bargaining table to negotiate the agreements that served as the treaty between labor and management for over two decades. Reuther’s story includes assassination attempts, confrontations with Senator Goldwater and Nikita Khrushchev, and a presence on the world stage and on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial when Martin Luther King recounted his dream. In the later chapters, the book looks beyond the life of the man and the events of his time and seeks to advance a liberal legacy that recently has been relentlessly attacked and too timidly defended.

Book Description
The Korean Kingdom and the United States signed a Treaty of Amity and Commerce in 1882. This treaty opened Korea to American missionaries who proselytized Christianity to the Koreans. When Hawaii sugar planters recruited Koreans to come to Hawaii to work in the Hawaii sugar plantations, they picked most of the Korean Hawaii emigrants from the Korean Christian converts. Between 1902 and 1905, some 7,000 of them immigrated to Hawaii. Of those 7,000, about 2,000 transmigrated to the mainland. Most of these Hawaii Korean trans-migrants settled on the West Coast, primarily in California. This book tells the Korean immigrants' life stories in California's eight San Joaquin Valley farm communities: Fresno, Hanford, Visalia, Dinuba, Reedley, Delano, Willows, and Maxwell. It describes how they survived through discrimination and injustices in early twentieth-century America, and also details the Korean immigrants' efforts to regain their lost motherland from Japanese colonialism (1910-1945).

Book Description
Hyphened-Nation was inspired by my travels overseas, and time spent living in the United Kingdom. Living abroad was an eye opening experience, I grew to understand certain aspects of American culture better, the longer I lived overseas. This book is about my insights, and experience of being treated as a pure American, rather than as a hyphenated one. The difference was startling, and lead me on a journey to understand why The United States is one of the only, if not the only country, that hyphenates its citizens by ethnicity before nationality. Those same boxes we allow ourselves to be placed into as hyphenated-Americans, limit our economic, educational, societal and cultural growth. This book focuses on ways the U.S. and Europe differ culturally via media, and how a bridge might be created. I hope this book inspires you to join the movement and, "Don't Check the Box". Be a catalyst for positive change. Your stories and insights will help to light everyone's path to a brighter future.

Book Description
"Hyphenated Americans: A Tale of Systemic Exclusion" sheds light on the struggles faced by diverse communities within the United States and their persistent battle against systemic exclusion. This insightful book explores the experiences of individuals who identify as hyphenated Americans, referring to those whose heritage or identity connects them to a specific cultural or ethnic group hyphenated with their American citizenship.From the early waves of immigrants to contemporary times, hyphenated Americans have encountered various forms of discrimination and marginalization. The book delves into the historical context of this exclusion, tracing its roots to discriminatory policies and attitudes that perpetuated inequality and hindered the full integration of diverse communities.The narrative highlights the challenges faced by different hyphenated American groups, including African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, focusing on Hispanics in South Texas. It explores the systemic barriers they encountered, such as restrictive immigration laws, racially biased policies, segregation, and limited access to education, employment, and housing opportunities.Through personal stories, interviews, and compelling anecdotes, the book captures the resilience and determination of hyphenated Americans in their quest for equality and social justice. It underscores the importance of collective action and the role of community organizations, civil rights movements, and advocacy groups in challenging and dismantling systemic exclusion.Furthermore, "Hyphenated Americans" critically examines the intersectionality of identities, recognizing that hyphenated Americans face multiple layers of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, and sexuality. The book emphasizes the interconnectedness of various struggles and the need for solidarity among marginalized communities to combat systemic exclusion effectively While acknowledging the progress made in the United States toward dismantling discriminatory practices, the book calls for continued efforts to address the lasting impact of historical injustices and to create a more inclusive society. It encourages readers to reflect on their own biases and actively engage in building a society that values and embraces the rich diversity of hyphenated Americans.In its concise yet thought-provoking approach "Hyphenated Americans: A Tale of Systemic Exclusion" invites readers to confront the legacy of discrimination and envision a more equitable future for all individuals, regardless of their hyphenated identities.

Book Description
No one preaches in a cultural vacuum. The message of what God has done in Christ is good news to all, but to have the greatest impact on its hearers--or even to be understood at all--it must be culturally contextualized. Finding Our Voice speaks clearly to an issue that has largely been ignored: preaching to Asian North American (ANA) contexts. In addition to reworking hermeneutics, theology, and homiletics for these overlooked contexts, Kim and Wong include examples of culturally-specific sermons and instructive questions for contextualizing one's own sermons. Finding Our Voice is essential reading for all who preach and teach in ANA contexts. But by examining this kind of contextualization in action, all who preach in their own unique contexts will benefit from this approach.

Book Description
From the dawn of modern international law, manifold treaties (especially peace treaties) have recognized the rights of specific minorities in specific territories. Today -- with Eastern Europe once more in turmoil and with minority groups all over the world clamouring for recognition -- there is a growing awareness that, irrespective of the observance of the fundamental freedoms of individuals, minority groups have their legitimate interests that must be appreciated and accommodated. This collection of essays grew out of an international legal colloquium, held at the Faculty of Law of Tel Aviv University in March 1990. Some of the papers have already been published in volume 20 of the Israel Yearbook on Human Rights, but others are printed here for the first time. The authors come from different parts of the world and represent different legal backgrounds. They are by no means at one in their analysis of the human rights of minority groups, but they all share the sense that problems of minorities cannot be brushed aside or glossed over. It is not too hazardous to forecast that these problems will actually intensify in the 21st century. Whereas they cannot be solved through exclusively legal means, international and constitutional lawyers must do their utmost to identify flash points and to offer at least some prescriptive guidelines. This is the principal purpose of the present volume.
