The Asian American Movement

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments I am grateful to Sucheng Chan, the general editor of this series, and Judy Yung, my closest friend and colleague, for carefully reading the entire manuscript and offering incisive criticism and copious comments. Being the first-rate scholars that they are, both of them raised significant questions, helping me think through many of my ideas. Thanks also go to Janet Francendese, Joan Vidal, and the rest of the editorial staff of Temple University Press for taking the manuscript in hand and turning it into this book; and to Bob Hsiang, Connie Hwang, and Corky Lee, visual interpreters of the Asian American experience, for the use of their photographs. I also wish to thank my University of Colorado colleagues Lee ChambersSchiller , David L. Gross, Robert D. Schulzinger, and Thomas Zeiler for the conversations that we had on the social movements of the 1960s; Gladys B1oedow , Kellie Matthews-Simmons, Pat Murphy, and Betty Jo Thorson for furnishing the kind of staff support that makes scholarship possible in the academy; and Nancy Mann for editorial assistance. Financial support for this work was afforded by the Rockefeller Foundation, and the University of Colorado's Council for Research and Creative Work, IMPART program, and the Committee on University Scholarly Publications. Research support was rendered by the Asian American libraries at the Berkeley and Los Angeles campuses of the University of California, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which supplied documents requested through the Freedom of Information Act. Needless to say, the comments and conclusions in this study are my own, and not necessarily those of the above-mentioned institutions. Chapter 3 is a revision and expansion of a paper presented at the University of California Forum on Asian American Women, Berkeley, 5-7 June 1987.
