Asian Texans: Our Struggles
for Texanness by Irwin Tang Asian Texans history centers on the struggles of Asian Texas to survive and live with dignity, honor and respect. Our speaker, Irwin Tang, will relate to various historical episodes that tell the story of how Asian Americans in Texas fought for their Texan identity, and how at the end that earned it. The talk includes historical narratives of Chinese Texans, Indian Texans, Vietnamese Texans, Filipino Texans, Japanese Texans, Korean Texans, and other Asian Texan ethnic groups. The history to be discussed spans from the days of the Texas Republic through the Great Storm of 1900 through the cataclysm of World War II through the Cold War to the present heyday of Asian Texan living history. Irwin Tang Irwin A. Tang is an Asian Texan author who was born and raised in College Station. He is the editor and chief author of Asian Texans: Our Histories and Our Lives. He led the efforts of twenty writers and researchers over the course of five years to produce Asian Texans. He is a co-author of When Invisible Children Sing: A true story of five street children, an idealistic young doctor, and their dangerous hope (Tyndale House) and sole author of The Texas Aggie Bonfire: Tradition and Tragedy at Texas A&M . He works as a freelance writer for magazines, NPR, and film. Tang holds an M.A. in Asian Studies from UT-Austin and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Southern California. |
