Why is it so easy to misremember the holding of Korematsu? In recent years, several respected legal commentators have got it wrong.

PORTRAYING ASIAN AMERICANS IN THE LAW |
31-JUN Nevada Lawyer 19 (June, 2023) |
Portraits last longer than the portraitist or the persons portrayed. This is why Mickey Rooney's portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi continues to offend despite its age. (Breakfast at Tiffany's was released in 1961.) It's why, too, Everything Everywhere All at Once is of special importance to Asian Americans today. The stories we tell matter. Both... |

ADDRESSING ASIAN (IN)VISIBILITY IN THE ACADEMY |
51 Southwestern Law Review 287 (2022) |
To be Asian American in the legal academy is to be caught between a paradox and a dichotomy, with both marked by silencing and erasure. The paradox exists within the term Asian American itself, as Asian and American have historically been posed as antithetical identities in U.S. history and jurisprudence. On one side is a representation of... |
