Rich Data

This book review is a beginning academic researcher’s interpretation of the robust methods and rich data Ho presents in her study of investment banking culture and the market in Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street (2009). A unique contribution of the text is Ho’s combining of ethnographic methods in order to practice polymorphous engagement in her study. A weakness of the text is Ho’s lacking autoethnographic analysis of her experience as an Asian American woman on Wall Street. The book will be helpful for a scholarly audience interested in studying rigorous ethnographic methodologies and exploring the culture of Wall Street.

Chapter 5 underscores a key theme of this study: that understanding how one group’s opportunities are constrained requires simultaneously accounting for how those opportunities are facilitated for others. This chapter encompasses the first comprehensive analysis of the prospects for representation of Latina/os and Asian American women and men in predominantly white districts across the United States. Chapter 5 also provides an account of how partisanship interacts with race-gendered processes to create particular limits on the electoral opportunities for Asian American women and Latinas. The final section of the chapter addresses the phenomenon of the “crossover” candidate. Such a candidate is often characterized by pundits and some scholars as a Latina or Asian American woman running in a racial plurality or predominantly white district, on the basis of her presumed appeal to white voters.

Purpose: This case report describes a patient with vitreoretinal lymphoma who subacutely developed a large, peripapillary subretinal infiltrate that rapidly and spontaneously resolved. Methods: A case report is presented. Results: A 65-year-old Asian-American woman was referred for evaluation of a dense, peripapillary subretinal infiltrate in the left eye. A diagnostic vitrectomy revealed large, atypical lymphocytes with irregularly shaped nuclei, and mutational testing was positive for myeloid differentiation primary response 88 ( MYD88). Prior to surgery, the patient’s subretinal infiltrate had begun to resolve spontaneously, a process that continued after surgery without initiation of systemic or local ocular therapy. Conclusions: Patients with vitreoretinal lymphoma may present with transient, subretinal infiltrates that can resolve without treatment.

Asian American Identity

The Asian American identity is intimately associated with upward class mobility as the model minority, yet women's earnings remain less than men's, and Asian American women are perceived to have strong family ties binding them to domestic responsibilities. As such, the exact class status of Asian American women is unclear. The immediate association of this ethnic identity with a specific class as demonstrated by the recently released Pew study that Asian Americans are “the highest‐income, best‐educated” ethnicity contrasts with another study that finds Asian American women have the highest suicide rates in the United States. To understand these contrasting statistics, this article explores Asian American women's sense of authenticity. If the individual's sense of authenticity is intimately related with one's group identity, the association of the Asian American identity with a particular class ambivalently ensnares her as dichotomously inauthentic—as both the poor Asian American woman who fails to achieve economic upward mobility and the model minority Asian American woman who engages in assimilation practices. Feminist philosophers understand that identities change, but exactly how these transformations occur remains a mystery. The article ends with three speculations on the difficulties for practicing and recognizing individual acts that transform one's group identity.
