Description
This book explores the effects of racial microaggressions on Asian American (AA) faculty members currently at higher education institutions utilizing the frameworks of the Model Minority Myth and Perpetual Foreigner Stereotype. The book delves into how AAPI faculty members were able to individually navigate and transcend at college and universities. Chapters offer original insights into faculty members' experiences through their own personal testimonies. The author also introduces the new concept of Model Minority Tokenism. The book concludes with recommendations for next steps in research as a result of the findings from the study.
