"Myth or Reality" presents in simple language the case of Asian Americans in California. Case studies and episodes are presented in a theoretical context of language minority students' adjustment to mainstream cultures. The high levels of expectation and the achievement motivation of many Asian Americans has added to the myth of success of all Asian populations in the United States. The authors use data that calibrates the differential success of various Asian populations, and the need to assist those who are less successful. Asian minorities at risk, the role of teachers in preventing delinquency, and the recommendations to teachers bring the book to practical concerns of educators and policy makers. It is aimed at undergraduate courses in education, anthropology, sociology, political science and psychology.
