- W2765132344 abstract "Up Against Whiteness: Race, School, and Immigrant Youth by Stacey J. Lee. New York: Teachers College, 2005. 152 pp. ISBN 0-8077-4574-X Given the dearth of critical examinations on Asian American student experiences in education, Stacey Lee’s ethnography of Hmong American high school students in Wisconsin is a welcome addition to the body of literature which focuses on Asian American subgroups. Lee details how first and second generation Hmong American students undergo racialization within their school and community lives. Her primary data comes from interviews and observations of students and school officials at “University High School” (UHS) over a year and a half. Additionally, observations about her role as an outsider to this community and as an East Asian American academic provide valuable insight for other researchers hoping to engage with similarly complex communities. In contrast to previous studies on poor schooling environments (Valenzuela, 1999; Zhou & Bankston, 1998), Lee’s site is a highly resourced school with a tradition of high academic achievement. However, she argues that both first and second generation Hmong American students are largely excluded from this excellence, marginalized in a school culture of whiteness. As the book title suggests, these students are “up against” a dominant culture that privileges the activities and achievements of white students. Within this dominant culture, to school officials, good students are those who emulate white academic and social achievement. Drawing on interviews with teachers and school officials, in her second chapter, Lee argues that the school’s perpetuation of white privilege blocks the school from meeting the needs of Hmong American students. These students are continuously othered, or harmfully differentiated from the rest of the UHS student population, against the school’s ideal of white academic and social success. School officials view Hmong students through lens of difference and deficit, approaches that allow them to deem students’ needs as being beyond their control. While the school’s English as a Second Language (ESL) program benefits from culturally sensitive teachers, Lee documents how other teachers view ESL as a catch all for culturally different students. ESL absolves them of responsibility for integrating them into their classrooms; even non-ESL students get referred to ESL. Second generation youth are also distinguished from the white norm as a culturally deficient and inferior group. While recognizing diversity among student experiences, in her third chapter, Lee explains how students label themselves: first-generation students are “traditional” and second-generation students are “Americanized.” Although she presents a few students who maintain identities drawn from both spheres, most students are resolute in their membership in a single group. The labels mark more than just immigrant status; they become categories that essentialize the behavior" @default.
