CleanIs Yellow Black or White: Revisited | In my 1994 book, Margins and Mainstreams: Asians in American History and Culture, I wrote: "We are a kindred people, African and Asian Americans. We share a history of migration, interaction and cultural sharing, and commerce and trade. We share a history of European colonization, de-colonization, and independence under neo-colonization and dependency. We share a history of oppression in the United States, successively serving as slaves and cheap labor, as peoples excluded and absorbed, as victims of mob rule and Jim Crow. We share a history of struggle for freedom and the democratization of America, of demands for equality and human dignity, of insistence on making real the promise that all men and women are created equal. We are a kindred people, forged in the fire of white supremacy and struggle." | 7/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

As the elderly of these communities past away, their stories are never heard. This is a loss to ethnic studies, Asian American Studies, foreign policies and U.S. history. With the development and emergence of technology, these communities now have a medium for their voice. Technology adds their missing voice to history. | 6/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
