Editorial Reviews
Review
“This book is a compilation and analysis of the reflections of some 46 Asian scientists, engineers, and academics working in the US. The overall impression one gets is that many of them, while they have any number of reasons for continuing to work in the US, are deeply unhappy with the constraints and discrimination (overt or subtle) they have to face. Graduate; faculty; professional.”–Choice
Book Description
Despite the small percentage of Asian scholars in U.S. academe (4.7%), they are the fastest growing academic group since the 1980s, particularly in the fields of science and engineering. In the era of globalization of science, the role of Asian scholars as a bridge between societies is increasingly important for effective communication of scientific and cultural knowledge. In this study, Choi, herself a Korean, employed in-depth interviewing of Asian scholars from six different points of origin--China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. By comparing experiences and perspectives, much valuable information is obtained about the contributions and potential of the Asian community of scholars in the United States.
