SUMMARY:The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:Reception & Book Signing to Follow \nTO RSVP In Person or zoom: https://host.nxt.blackbaud.com/registration-form/?formId=4acaad42-64c0-494d-b709-d724ab8837ff&envId=p-rzKFBb2xVk253Ulcjd_x1w&zone=usa \nMarking Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Roosevelt House\, please join us\, together with the Hunter College Asian American Studies Program\, for a discussion of the new Penguin Classics anthology\, The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration. The event will feature the volume’s coeditors Frank Abe and Floyd Cheung in conversation with Hunter College professor of education\, and the granddaughter—and daughter—of incarcerated Japanese Americans\, Cathlin Goulding. \nAn “essential volume\,” according to The New Yorker\, this anthology recovers\, and reframes\, the literature produced by those affected by the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II— based solely upon the race they shared with a wartime enemy. In a decision even FDR’s great admirers have condemned as one of the most indefensible of his presidency\, the Roosevelt administration expelled resident aliens as well as U.S. citizens from their homes\, imprisoning 125\,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry in camps—without due process. \nFrom the extensive collection of essays\, memoirs\, letters\, fiction\, and poetry in the anthology emerges a shared story of the struggle to retain personal integrity in the face of increasing dehumanization. The contributors span incarcerees\, their children born in or soon after the camps\, and their descendants who reflect on the long-term consequences of mass incarceration for themselves and the nation. \nMany of the voices in the book are those of protest. Some are those of accommodation. All are authentic. Together\, they form an epic narrative with a singular vision of America’s past—one with disturbing resonances with the American present. \nAs citizens are once again incarcerated without due process\, under the same Alien Enemies Act used during WWII\, please join us for this important historical—and yet urgent—discussion. \nFrank Abe is the lead author of the graphic novel We Hereby Refuse: Japanese American Resistance to Wartime Incarceration and a finalist in creative nonfiction for the Washington State Book Award. He wrote\, produced\, and directed the award-winning PBS documentary Conscience and the Constitution\, on the largest organized camp resistance\, and\, with writer Frank Chin\, helped create the first Day of Remembrance in Seattle in 1978. \nFloyd Cheung is a professor of English Language and Literature and American Studies at Smith College. Coeditor and contributor to Recovered Legacies: Authority and Identity in Early Asian American Literature\, he has worked on the recovery of writings by H.T. Tsiang\, Sadakichi Hartmann\, Kathleen Tamagawa\, Munio Makuuchi\, and others. \nCathlin Goulding is a Hunter College professor of education and curriculum designer. She co-directs the YURI Education Project\, which helps PK-12 educators teach and tell Asian American histories. Her grandparents were incarcerated at the Jerome and Gila River camps\, where her mother was born.

SUMMARY:The Most Famous Woman in China (Book Talk) with Yue-Sai Kan
DESCRIPTION:Roosevelt House\, along with the Hunter College Asian American Studies Program\, is proud to present a discussion with renowned television host and businesswoman Yue-Sai Kan about her new autobiography\, The Most Famous Woman in China. Joining her in conversation will be former congresswoman and Eleanor Roosevelt Distinguished Leader in Residence at Roosevelt House\, Hon. Carolyn Maloney. \nThis discussion will consider the challenges and successes of Yue-Sai Kan’s career\, the importance of cross-cultural understanding\, the significance of business and cultural ambassadorship in bridging divides\, and the impact we can all have as individuals in an ever-more connected—and yet polarized—world. The Most Famous Woman in China chronicles Kan’s life story—from her arrival in the United States at the age of 16\, to her ascent in the business and media world\, to becoming “the Oprah of China\,” as she is often known today. Delving deep into the heights of her career during a period of profound change for China\, Kan details her incredible journey from one world to the next\, and how she has worked\, over the course of her lifetime\, to bring the two together. \nReception & Book Signing to Follow Talk \nClick the link below to join via Zoom:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82665071919

SUMMARY:What We Need to Know About the Asian American Experience
DESCRIPTION:As Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month comes to an end\, please join us for a discussion with leading policymakers and educators about the importance of a newly introduced bill that calls for the inclusion of AAPI history in New York State’s public school curriculum. The conversation will also consider a new social studies curriculum and resource guide from the New York City Department of Education called “Hidden Voices: Asian American and Pacific Islanders in the United States.” Scheduled to be available in schools by the end of June\, it explores the significance of key Asian American and Pacific Islander figures from the past and present. In addition\, the “Hidden Voices” guide offers pedagogical essays to help teachers facilitate inclusive learning experiences that present the diverse perspectives\, histories\, and contributions of AAPI individuals and groups that have largely been invisible in curriculum and public dialogues.
