The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) populationcontinues to obfuscate the discourse on diversity and highereducation institutions. The historical and contemporary experiencesof AAPIs in higher education clearly indicate that their presencehas influenced and reinforced the importance of diversity ineducational environments. To contextualize AAPIs’participation in postsecondary education, this monographprovides:
* A historical overview of the ‘model minority’stereotype
* The affirmative action debate and AAPIs
* Their involvement in the education pipeline
* A discussion of their experiences in college.
Implications for future research, practice, and policy arefurther discussed. Educators, administrators, faculty, policymakers, and researchers who are concerned with diversity issues andthe AAPI population will find this monograph an engaging andvaluable resource.
