Yellow——Race in America Beyond Black and White.
Author: Frank H. Wu
Publisher: Basic Books
Year: 2003
Call Number: E184.O6W959
Introduction: In the tradition of W. E. B. Du Bois, Cornel West, and other public intellectuals who confronted the “color line” of the twentieth century, journalist, law professor, and activist Frank H. Wu offers a unique perspective on how changing ideas of racial identity will affect race relations in the new century.Often provocative and always thoughtful, this book addresses some of the most controversial contemporary issues: discrimination, immigration, diversity, globalization, and the mixed-race movement, introducing the example of Asian Americans to shed new light on the current debates. Combining personal anecdotes, social-science research, legal cases, history, and original journalistic reporting, Wu discusses damaging Asian American stereotypes such as “the model minority” and “the perpetual foreigner.” By offering new ways of thinking about race in American society, Wu’s work challenges us to make good on our great democratic experiment.
Book exchange with Xiamen University
Recently Wang Gungwu Library has kicked off book exchange programme with Xiamen University (厦门大学). As part of collaboration series between NTU Library and Xiamen University Library, this programme is meant to enhance library collections especially monographs, scholarly papers and other university publications which are hardly obtained through normal channels. The first bunch, about 1,000 volumes has been packed and sent to NTU Library acquisition department for shipping. Meanwhile, hundreds of books from Xiamen University are also on the way to our library.
More book exchange programmes with other significant institutions will be conducted in a foreseen future. We have contacted with Jinan University (暨南大学) and Wuyi University (五邑大学) and got very positive responses. We believe these kinds of programmes not only benefits our users from availability of publications not usually obtainable from local libraries, but more importantly, help to build good relationship between our centre and these institutions.

近日王赓武图书馆展开了与厦门大学图书馆的图书交换计划。作为双方深入开展系列合作项目之一，该计划对丰富我馆学术出版物、学术论文及其他在公开市场上不易购得的出版物收藏有着极大的促进作用。第一批为数约1000册的复本图书已整理装箱完毕，暂存于南洋理工大学图书馆文献采集部等待运送。同时，厦门大学所交换的300余册书籍也将于近期抵达。
此外，王赓武图书馆也会与其他学术机构开展更多的图书交换计划，以最小支出来实现资源的优化配置。目前我们已经获得了暨南大学、五邑大学的回复，其负责人均对图书交换计划表示极大的兴趣，相关准备工作业已在进行之中。我们相信，这些图书交换计划不仅能使我们的读者更方便地获取到本地不易求得的学术资源，更重要的是有益于我馆与这些学术机构建立良好的合作关系，以期开展更多深层次的交流活动。
美国纽约华人家庭
作者：薛素珍、陈静英
出版社：上海三联书店
年份：1993
索书号：F128.9.C5X8
介绍：中国的家庭制度是中国传统文化中最重要的内容之一，它历时几千年，成为社会发展的基石。它那独特的层次结构和文化内容，历来是国内外学者研究中国社会和文化的主要课题。华人移居美国已有100多年的历史，关于华人在美国的情况已有不少著作。但对华人家庭的研究是空白。笔者拟在几乎是空白的领域里试作耕耘。笔者在三年多的时间内，查阅了大部分有关纽约华人的资料，走访和调查了纽约市五个区200个华人家庭（150份问卷，50个个案访谈），进行了第一手资料的调查和分析，试图对纽约华人家庭形成的历史背景、现状及发展趋势作一社会的分析和预测，展示华人家庭在另一种文化中生存、发展和衍变的社会风貌。由于华人来美的年代不同，居住的区域广泛，社会层次复杂，本书分析的类型不能囊括全部，调查分析的材料大部分集中在中、下层和1965年以后来美的“新移民”中。编写此书之目的旨在开拓一个新领域，虽不完善，愿抛专引玉，为后来者作铺路。
