ABSTRACT This article analyzes a troop newspaper entitled The Great Wall created by Chinese American Boy Scouts in New York’s Chinatown in the late 1930s. I argue that Chinatown Scouts constructed a counterhegemonic boyhood masculinity through expressions of physical strength, ethnic heritage, and binational allegiances. Although Chinatown Scouts resisted stereotypes of Chinese Americans as feeble and Chinatowns as insular, they stopped short of articulating an alternative to the BSA’s masculinist vision. The Boy Scout movement in New York’s Chinatown before World War II urges scholars to give greater attention to the intersection of race, gender, and age in Asian American history.

ABSTRACT Since 9/11, Iranian Americans have challenged their racialization as troublesome terrorists through cultural productions that emphasize how they belong in a multicultural America. In this paper, I argue that these Iranian Americans perform “Persian/American exceptionalism,” a representational strategy that embraces capitalist conspicuous consumption and touts universalist notions of freedom. In so doing, they attempt to erase post-revolutionary Iran and its association with political Islam from the U.S. imaginary as part of an effort to distance themselves from two major flashpoints in U.S.-Middle Eastern history – the Iran Hostage Crisis and September 11th.

ABSTRACT This paper examines how young Korean Americans conceive of the relationship between their ethnic identity and linguistic behavior, focusing on metalinguistic commentary given on the topic of Korean American English (KAE). I argue that the ongoing enregisterment of a unique KAE variety is characterized by the fact that Korean Americans disagree on both what this variety sounds like and where the variety is spoken or where it comes from. Yet, a majority still contend that KAE exists. I connect this paradox to the historical struggle that Korean Americans have over language ownership and hybrid cultural identity.
