Description: Minority Invisibility : An Asian American Experience, Paperback by Sun, Wei, ISBN 0761837809, ISBN-13 9780761837800, Brand New, Free shipping in the US If you ignore a person, a group, or an issue long enough, will they go away? Sun (communications, Bowie State U.) examines how society discriminates by ignoring, downplaying, and oversimplifying certain groups of people. As she explains the findings of her in-depth interviews with Asian-American processionals from a range of metropolitan areas, she finds that others tend to merely ignore their membership in a significant minority group or assign them a place in a "model minority," a behavior that is as harmful to the identity of the person so labeled as it is inaccurate. She begins by closely examining the literature on American racial formation and forms of minority invisibility, including studies pertaining to Asian Americans and theories of invisibility, and analyzes her results on individual racial consciousness in an atmosphere of invisibility, group racial consciousness, and the experience of groups other than Asian Americans who must contend with invisibility.
