ZIQI YIN Week 6 SS1

Valverde Dariotis Academics Awaken 

The author is right when he says we should fight the current system owing to its antithetical and self-centered structure. The portrayal by the author about the suffering of Asian Americans owing to their identity, race, and culture is highly detailed. From a reader’s perspective, I believe the author is encouraging Asians to be vigilant, fight for their rights, and restore their cultural identity. The author’s clash with her institution of high education delineates the implicit injustice that has always characterized the counry’s education system.

Robyn Magalit Rodriguez Epilogue Upward and Onward

I agree with the sentiments that Asian Americans cannot remain above the fray whether on campus or the streets. It is true that “wokeness” requires persistent and creative organization and mobilization of radical change. In my view, ethnic studies should inform the urgent work in progress of transforming academia.
