Asian American Youth: Culture, Identity and Ethnicity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A.A.Y.C.I.E. is a compilation of reports from various Asian American Studies writers. If you are not familiar with AAS literature it is a good intro with a wide breadth of community samplings and general facts in part 1. The book itself is rather restrictive with the definition of "Youth". The "youth" it focus' on is high school students and college students, the book does not make room for studies of Jr. high students who participate in these activities. The book does its job, reporting on findings of youths within communities, but that's where it ends. There is a small chapter (The conclusion) where it looks at where AA youth are headed but that's it. This book is not groundbreaking and it suffers from the same shortcomings of most AAS literature as of late. No direction of where the community is headed, how to solve reoccurring problems of gambling and alcohol within our families and completely ignores the mixed or "Happa" community. A good read but don't expect too much.
