This guide is written in the spirit of being inclusive and resisting reductive identity labels and constrictive historical perspectives. However, it can be misleading not to address the multi-faceted aspect of racial identities, and the guide creators want to intentionally recognize that the variety of Asian American experiences cannot be encompassed in a single label. While we use the Asian American and Asian Diaspora to describe the resources on this guide, we do not mean to reduce complex histories and experiences to a single label or to ignore other racial and ethnic identities. Additionally, we want to recognize the experiences of Pacific Islanders, who are often grouped with Asian Americans and the Asian diaspora without having resources or narratives reflecting and supporting their experiences. The boundaries of identities are always in flux and are often couched in terms of the current systems of power that organize society. Please take care to explore the resources included as a beginning point of inquiry into imperialism, racial domination, hate crimes, prejudice, and social movements, and not as a finite record of resources. We also ask for continued work to improve the quality, range, and depth of resources for all minoritized communities. Please contact Shatha Baydoun at sbaydoun@miami.edu for further information.
In 1978, a joint Congressional resolution established a 7-day period beginning in May of 1979 as "Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week." The month of May was specifically chosen to commemorate the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants (May 7, 1843) and the completion of the Transcontintental Railroad (May 10, 1869), which heavily relied on Chinese workers.
In 1992, the heritage week was officially extended to a month-long recognition of the contributions of Asian-Americans and Pacific Islander Americans.
