这篇文章关注的是亚裔美国人在专业职业中向上流动的“玻璃天花板”的存在。它质疑最近将亚裔美国人描绘成在美国“成功”的“模范少数族裔”。相反，它表明，尽管亚裔美国人取得了良好的成就，但他们还没有达到可以参与政策和决策责任的水平。本文以亚裔美国学者新兴的玻璃天花板文献为基础，同时考察了私营公司、政府机构和高等教育机构的社会/文化复杂性、特殊性和细微差别。
This article focuses on the existence of the "glass ceiling" to upward career mobility experienced by Asian Americans in professional occupations. It questions the recent portrayal of Asian Americans as a "model minority" who have "made it" in America. Instead, it shows that despite their good record of achievement, Asian Americans do not reach a level at which they can participate in policy and decision-making responsibilities. This article builds on the emerging glass ceiling literature by Asian American scholars, while examining social/cultural complexities, peculiarities, and nuances in private companies, government agencies, and institutions of higher education.
