本文旨在填补法律的研究的空白,亚裔美国妇女的经验。本文的范围有限,特别关注中产阶级,受过教育的亚裔美国妇女的经验。它还关注为亚裔美国妇女的成功制造障碍的社会力量,如陈规定型观念。亚裔美国人不是一个单一的群体。他们来自不同的国家,有着不同的历史,不同的语言,文化,美食和宗教。尽管如此,我们的主流社会经常把所有亚裔美国人误认为是一个单一群体的成员。因此,本文特别关注阻碍成功的外部因素。它不会讨论内部的文化力量,也可能创造障碍,以成功的亚裔美国人。第二部分讨论了亚裔美国妇女被排除在“玻璃天花板”和“竹子天花板”理论之外的问题。第三部分介绍了交叉性的研究,其局限性,以及了解和消除亚裔美国妇女成功的障碍的潜力。为了充分了解亚裔美国妇女成功的障碍,第四部分将研究亚裔美国妇女的排斥和刻板印象的历史;这一部分还将讨论模范少数民族神话以及亚裔美国妇女如何融入这种叙述。第五部分将探讨这些刻板印象如何导致亚裔美国妇女在工作场所受到歧视。本文最后讨论了如何承认亚裔美国妇女的经验,并消除这些障碍的成功。
This paper aims to fill the void in legal research on the experiences of Asian American women. This paper is limited in scope and focuses specifically on the experiences of middle-class, educated, Asian American women. It also focuses on societal forces that create barriers to success for Asian American women, such as stereotyping. Asian Americans are not a monolithic group. They are from different countries with distinct histories, and differing languages, cultures, cuisines, and religions. Nevertheless, our dominant society often mistakes all Asian Americans as being members of a monolithic group. For that reason, this paper focuses specifically on external forces creating barriers to success. It will not discuss internal cultural forces that may also create barriers to success for Asian Americans. Part II discusses the exclusion of Asian American women from the theories of the “glass ceiling” and the “bamboo ceiling.” Part III describes the study of intersectionality, its limitations, and potential for understanding and eradicating the barriers to success for Asian American women. To fully understand the barriers to success for Asian American women, Part IV will examine the history of exclusion and stereotypes of Asian American women; this Part will also discuss the model minority myth and how Asian American women fit into this narrative. Part V will examine how these stereotypes contribute to discrimination against Asian American women in the workplace. This paper concludes with a discussion on ways to acknowledge the experiences of Asian American women and remove these barriers to success.
