Up Against Whiteness

Discover the compelling exploration of identity in "Up Against Whiteness" by Annish K. Zhu, published by Teachers' College Press in 2005. This engaging paperback spans 168 pages and challenges traditional frameworks of Asian American educational discourse. Through the lens of first- and second-generation Hmong students, Zhu delves into how these individuals forge their identities as "new Americans" in response to their unique school experiences. This enlightening work not only sheds light on cultural dynamics within educational settings but also encourages readers to reconsider the narratives surrounding race and identity. A must-read for educators, students, and anyone interested in the complexities of cultural integration in contemporary America.
