This 160-page illustrated volume is based upon Professor Lal's path-breaking scholarship and research on Indian history, comparative colonial histories, and the contemporary politics of knowledge and culture. The Other Indians synthesizes, in pocketbook form, his ideas around the emergence of the Indian community in the U.S. with a focus on post-1965 communities. The thirteen chapters cover the following topics: Indians in the global setting and their passage to America; early students and rebels; the emergence of new South Asian communities; culture, religion, education, and affluence; and the politics and future of Indians in the U.S and in the Indian diaspora. This is the first volume of the Press's "Asia Pacific Ideas/Professor-in-a-Pocket" series that features the innovative thinking and research of the renowned faculty of the UCLA Asian American Studies Center. The Center, established in 1969, and the new UCLA Asian American Studies Department, together constitute the only Asian American studies program in the nation which combines teaching, research, and publishing. The Other Indians is the first pocket-sized political and culture history of South Asian Indians in America and designed for the general public as well as classroom usage. Photographs and a handy resource reading guide are included

Literary Nonfiction. Asian &amp; Asian American Studies. Edited by Lane Hirabayshi, Richard Katsuda, Suzy Katsuda, Kathy Masaoka, Kay Ochi, and Janice Iwanaga Yen. The most significant 20th century campaign carried out by Nikkei, or people of Japanese ancestry, was the quest for redress (an apology) and reparations (monetary compensation) for the 1942 mass incarceration of Japanese Americans. The National Coalition for Redress/Reparations (NCRR) was at the forefront of the community's grassroots movement for redress, which culminated in the passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. This book is the first comprehensive account of NCRR's roots, history, and continuing impact over four decades. It is also an innovative ethnobiography written by NCRR's participants that explains why so many people, from all walks of life, gave their time, energy, creative ideas, and moral support to the organization.

Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. Originally published in 1996, RAPPIN' WITH TEN THOUSAND CARABAOS IN THE DARK is a collection of poetry by the late Al Robles, the quintessential Pilipino American poet, storyteller, and co-founder of the Kearny Street Workshop in San Francisco. In this new expanded edition that also commemorates UCLA AASC's 50th anniversary, the book includes a forward by Tony Robles, as well as a classic essay by Al Robles from Amerasia Journal. Described by Ishmael Reed as "a journey into the heart of Pilipino soul," Robles's poetry reflected his power as a storyteller and his own activism.

Literary Nonfiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. California Interest. With accounts from San Francisco State University, UC Berkeley, and UCLA, MOUNTAIN ROVERS highlights how students changed the course of history through the origin stories of Asian American studies at those campuses and the narratives of nine remarkable students. For each of these Asian Americans, their ethnic heritages and racialized experiences, their family backgrounds, their education, and the social movements of their day intersected so that they became agents of change. Specifically, they organized and mobilized fellow students and community members to establish and further Asian American Studies (AAS) on their campuses. AAS has since grown not only to offer a relevant curriculum for and about these students, but also to help develop and empower their communities.
