  • This source is a peer-reviewed journal article that highlights the continued history of racism and nativism that exists in the United States and works to open communication amongst divided minorities regarding the ubiquitous nature of White supremacy. The article specifically addresses the intersectionality of immigration and systemic racism as seen through the lens of White supremacy towards Blacks and Asian Americans. It also brings up the indifference of Asian Americans to the plight of the Black Lives Matter movement during the 2019 Pandemic. The journal article also references the 2016 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election survey, a nationwide survey, that includes information from 1371 foreign born Asian immigrants and 1635 U.S. born Asian Americans. The results of this 2016 survey showcase varying indifferences towards the BLM movement based on native born status to the point that foreign-born Asian Americans were noted for their high levels of indifference compared to others surveyed, especially their U.S. born counterparts. Altogether, this article and its findings add a more in depth understanding of race amongst Asian Americans and its relation to White supremacy, anti-Black racism and how they intersect to support a racial hierarchy. This journal article is a reliable source because it was peer-reviewed and published by MDPI based in Basel and is a collaborative effort from multiple professors and assistant professors at Arizona State University working in cross-disciplinary studies.
•  Fujino, D. C. (2008). WHO STUDIES THE ASIAN AMERICAN MOVEMENT? A Historiographical Analysis. Journal of Asian American Studies, 11(2), 127-169,247.
  • In this peer-reviewed journal article, Diane Fujino analyzes what she defines as four periods of study of the Asian American movement in the United States. In this particular article, she broaches the fourth period of study (2000s to present) and the evolution of Asian American Movement scholarship over the years. The article touches upon the history of known AAM scholarship derived from activists turned academics - or organic intellectuals. However, she brings up the disparity between formal, researchers of Asian American studies despite the increase in Asian American studies at the university level. The article also refers to Steve Lawson's historiographical essay on three periods of Civil Rights Movement scholarship. This article is a reliable source as it was published by John Hopkins University Press as part of their Journal of Asian American Studies and written by Diane Fujino, a professor of Asian American Studies as the University of California, Santa Barbara.
