The winter 2011 issue, titled “The Myth of the Model Minority,” discusses the history and experiences of Asian and Asian-American students in America; how the label “model minority” can be perilous for students; and how we must eradicate the stereotypes and racism that underwrite social inequity. Vivian’s article is titled “Getting It Right: Schools and the Asian-American Experience.”
