AAARI’s fourth issue of CUNY FORUM is concerned with how Asian American Studies, as a radical education initiative begun forty-years ago, can become a “change-creator,” providing a counter narrative to what is already known or practiced. Here, East Coast scholars, activists, artists and institutions, through their work and research bring critical transcultural perspectives and uncommon meanings to both voice and practice.

CUNY FORUM is the first journal in CUNY’s 166-year history focused on Asian American and Asian issues, edited by veteran editor and award-winning American Book award writer Russell C. Leong, the 2012-2013 CUNY Thomas Tam Visiting Professor at Hunter College. According to Leong, the goal of the FORUM is to bring intellectual and cultural communities together in a new commons that takes readers well beyond typecasting Asian Americans as merely another American “minority brand.”
