AAPI Nexus: Civil Rights 2:1 (2004)

Most of the essays and articles in this special issue of AAPI Nexus were originally produced for a strategic roundtable held in October 2002 and sponsored by The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University and the UCLA Asian American Studies Center. The two-day roundtable at Harvard drew participants from the worlds of both academia and advocacy with the goals of exploring common objectives to address racial justice for Asian Americans, illuminating new problems and issues, and grappling with the many challenges facing Asian American communities in the post-9/11 world.

All of the pieces in this issue thus focus on the complexities of the Asian American civil rights agenda addressed at the roundtable: the necessity of bridging the gaps between activists and scholars to strengthen civil rights advocacy and civil rights research, the limits of pan-Asian frameworks in addressing the needs of specific populations, the problems in developing effective coalitions both within Asian American communities and between Asian Americans and other minority communities, and the changing demography that has shaped and reshaped Asian American civil rights.
