Purchase: CUNY FORUM Volume 2:1
AAARI’s second issue of CUNY FORUM features a mixture of Nobel Prize recipients together with notable Asian Pacific scholars, journalists and public artists including individuals connected with Bangladesh, South Africa, Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Nepal, Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines. The FORUM, taking its cue from new media approaches, introduces its contents through a visual mapping diagram, with keys and links to free digitally-available content. According to the editor, the goal of the FORUM is to bring intellectual and cultural communities together in a New York commons that takes readers well beyond typecasting Asian Americans as merely another American “minority brand,” or as “the newest kid on the block,” and to link their experience and history with broader trends in scholarship, communications, media, and literature across the Asia Pacific region and including the Americas.
The 158 page journal (Volume 2:1, Fall 2014 to Winter 2015, ISSN: 2329-1125, $15.00) features four sections, each examining through essays and research reports: 1. Asian Pacific American Studies; 2. Global Thinking and East-West Philosophy; 3. Global Voices: Asia, Africa and the Americas; and 4. Latitudes / Word & Image.
