Friday, March 10 06pm to 08pm
Asian American/Asian Research Institute
25 West 43rd St., Room 1000, New York, NY 10036
In this talk Drs. Daisy Ball and Nicholas Hartlep will discuss their latest volume, Asian/Americans, Education, and Crime: The Model Minority as Victim and Perpetrator. They will discuss how their book contributes to a limited amount of scholarly writing so that researchers, policymakers, and educators can gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the relationship between Asian/Americans and the criminal justice system. In reality, Asian/Americans in the United States are both the victims of crime and the perpetrators of crime. However, their characterization as the “model minority” masks the victimization and violence they experience in the twenty-first century.
They will have books available for discounted sale and will sign books as well.
