The Asian American Achievement Paradox
Book • 2015
In *The Asian American Achievement Paradox*, sociologists Jennifer Lee and Min Zhou delve into the academic achievements of Asian American children, particularly those of Chinese and Vietnamese immigrants.
They argue that the success of these groups is not solely due to cultural values but is influenced by immigration policies, community resources, and institutional support.
The book reveals how these factors create an 'achievement paradox,' where those who do not fit the success model feel like failures.
