"For far too long the Asian American and Pacific Islander(AAPI) student population has been left out of conversations about studentsuccess, forgotten due to the model minority myth. Maramba and Fong havebrought to the surface key issues for all in higher education to discuss andlearn from. The group of authors they have assembled have both thescholarly background and practice-based knowledge to help the field moveforward in its understanding of AAPI students and Asian American and NativeAmerican Pacific Islander Serving Institutions."--Marybeth Gasman, Judy & Howard Berkowitz Professor of Education, University of Pennsylvania"A first of its kind, this book will become an essentialread for colleges and universities that educate Asian American, Native Americanand Pacific Islander students. The chapter authors offer asset-based practicesthat can and should be used by practitioners striving to undo the historicalremnants of whiteness that continue to hinder the success of those who areracially minoritized."--Gina Ann Garcia, Associate Professor, Administrative and Policy Studies, University of Pittsburgh

Thecontributors describe effective practices that enable instructors to validatethe array of students' specific backgrounds and circumstances within thecontexts of developing such skills as writing, leadership and cross-culturalcommunication for their class cohorts as a whole. They demonstrate that payingattention to the diversity of student experiences in the teaching environmentenriches the learning for all.
