Abstract

The Winter 2001 issue of AEMS News and Reviews (Vol. 4, No. 2) focuses on the integration of visual media into Asian American and East Asian education, featuring a special section on the Asian American Studies Committee Film Series by Ida Fadzillah which aims to increase awareness of Asian American issues. This edition offers numerous film reviews that explore both traditional and contemporary themes across Asia, including "Circles and Cycles: Kathak Dance" and "India: Environment and Industry" which delve into classical Indian dance and India's ecological challenges, respectively. Japanese cultural heritage is showcased through "The Tradition of Performing Arts in Japan: The Artistry of Kabuki, Noh and Bunraku," "Okinawa Omnibus" for regional culture, and "Botchan" as a literary adaptation. Films like "Passing Through," "Mao’s New Suit," and "In Search of China" examine themes of identity, historical memory, and modernity within Korean-American, Chinese, and broader Asian contexts. Additionally, the issue includes a "Bargain Buys" section, recommending affordable Chinese media resources under $30, making it a valuable and practical guide for educators seeking culturally rich teaching materials.
