“…For instance, the entrance of Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Hmong, and Laotians to the United States as military brides, refugees, adoptees, or immigrants cannot be fully explained without considering US involvement in the Korean War and Vietnam War (Glenn, 1986; J. Kim, 2009; N. Kim, 2008). However, official curricular scripting seems to largely ignore this aspect.…”

“…In addition to economic involvement, the US military involvement in Asia through military bases, military intervention, or temporary occupation of Asian countries also accounts for Asian immigration to the United States (Yang, 2010).

Despite an extensive body of curriculum research on inclusion and representation of historically marginalized groups, Asian Americans and their perspectives have received relatively little attention in and of themselves in curriculum studies. Although some progress has been made in curricular treatment of historically marginalized groups, Asian Americans are still almost absent from official school knowledge, and when they appear they are generally misrepresented. This article introduces Asian critical race theory (AsianCrit) as relevant to curriculum studies, and explicates how AsianCrit can be a theoretical, methodological framework to research and transform curricular treatment of Asian Americans. In doing so, this article seeks to address the lack of curriculum research on Asian Americans as well as the limited curricular inclusion of Asian Americans and their experiences.
