Talk:Asian American movement

Untitled
Peer Review: Good Wiki Article Criteria (taken from Wikipedia): 1. Well-written --well organized with headings and sub-headings, gives good historical context and a general timeline of the movement's development. Generally well-written, I just fixed a couple of typos and grammar errors. 2. Verifiable with no original research -- Good range of secondary sources. it's good that you don't have sources written directly by the main subject of the article. 3. Broad in its coverage -- Good focus on the main topic without going too much into detail. I think the section on BLM is very relevant and places the AA Civil Rights Movement in context with other activist groups and how they play a role in activism today. Do elaborate more on what caused the end of the movement (perhaps you're still working on it), I think that will also be very interesting to see what factors caused the 'extinction' of the movement. It will also be interesting to note about current groups or movements that have extended out from the original movement. 4. Neutral -- I think the article maintains a relatively objective stance throughout. Great! 5. Illustrated, if possible, by images -- try to link key words (or difficult concepts) to other relevant wikipedia articles so readers can easily find out what they mean ---you mentioned the ICSA, link it to Richard's article when we're done! :) Lsim2 (talk) 00:46, 2 December 2016 (UTC)lsim2

Reading response for Asian American Movement
After I read this page, I have a rough idea of what was Asian American Movement after WWII. I didn’t know so many activists who had involved in this movement. There are two quotes in the context that help me to understand more about their motto. However, I didn’t see much about their achievement throughout the movement on the page. I hope I can see more about what they contributed to the society? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.51.93.169 (talk) 07:44, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Key figures list
First, I very much appreciate this page and work put into it. However, the list of key figures may be too broad. For example, Helen Zia, Yuri Kochiyama, and Grace Lee Boggs are not really key figures in the AAM per se, unless you use the term more broadly than the specific historical trend that this article focuses on (which I think is the best approach and agree with). Helen Zia's activism does not fall within the historical time frame described (accurately) by this article. Though you may be able to argue that her autoworkers organizing is sort of at the tail end of the AAM, there is no evidence this work was connected to the AAM (see, for example, her autobiography). Grace Lee Boggs and Yuri Kochiyama were both Asian American activists/leaders within the time frame, but neither were really working within the AAM due to circumstances (mainly their location and the groups they became a part of). Their autobiographies and biographies reinforce this. Certainly, their views and affiliations during the historical AAM time frame (Black Liberation Movement, Marxism-Leninism etc) were reflected in, connected to, and interacted with AAM activists, groups, and activities, but the same could be said of innumerable other movement activists during this period, and their inclusion appears mainly to rely on the fact that they are prominent leftist activists who are also Asian Americans.

This is my first "talk" post so apologies if this post is too detailed or formatted incorrectly. Also, I just started my account and so far only made two very minor edits so don't feel bold enough to remove them from the list.

Lack of citations.
The section for "Yellow Power" is both too short and lacks citations. If no one will rectify this matter, I will create the page myself and add citations as well as liking the page to this one. This is just a note. Markovich Rashkolnikov (talk) 17:38, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Tone issues
The tone of the section is not entirely encyclopedic as it strays into non-neutral advocacy. See the for a more appropriate style. —  AjaxSmack 16:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Added Citation (Early Developments Section)
In the Early Developments section of the article, I added a citation that was missing in order to support the statement that Richard Aoki had served as a field marshal in the Black Panther Party. The source I added here is a peer-reviewed journal entitled "Spaces of Mobilization: The Asian American/Pacific Islander Struggle for Social Justice" by Adalberto Aguirre Jr. and Shoon Lio (2008) (see 9 in References section). In this same section, I also added a sentence about Yuri Kochiyama, who was already mentioned in this paragraph, to provide another example of the influence of the Black Power movement on the Asian American movement. --GlobeTrotter49 (talk) 02:03, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Evaluation
This is a good start to the topic, but could be improved with more information in general. The article is quite short, and the existence of an "early developments' sub-heading probably necessitates the addition of subheadings for the middle and later stages of the movement as well. The article is also limited in its discussion of the social and political outcomes/achievements of the movement. I feel that the formatting of the page could be improved as well, perhaps by mimicking a similar format the the Black power wikipedia article. — RekishiKyoushi (talk) 18:29, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Capitalization?
Should it be Asian American Movement or Asian American movement. It is inconsistent as it stands.

 * You bring up a very good point, I was also wondering the same thing while reading the article. That is definitely something that needs to be addressed and resolved. Oekct (talk) 04:54, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
