ABSTRACT: This volume consists of papers which were
submitted to the Asian American Assembly conference in New
York in 1977. The goals of the Assembly are outlined in the
volume's preface. Community and academic activities
undertaken by the Assembly in cooperation with the City
College of New York Department of Asian Studies are
described. In a paper by a Pennsylvania judge, Asian
American attitudes are explored. Both attitudes toward one
another and attitudes toward oneself are discussed. Steps
toward self acceptance and social equality are suggested.
In a second paper, by a professor of Asian Studies,
employment patterns of Chinese Americans are discussed. The
rate of growth of the Chinese population in the U.S. is
mentioned as a factor to consider in the employment outlook
for 1980. The question of whether traditional employment
patterns will serve future needs is also addressed.
Language education and job training, as well as the
utilization of affirmative action channels, are suggested
as ways of improving opportunities. Data on the
occupational distribution of Chinese Americans is presented
in statistical tables. A list of members of the Asian
Assembly is also included in this document. (GC)
