<p>“For far too long the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) student population has been left out of conversations about student success, forgotten due to the model minority myth. Maramba and Fong have brought to the surface key issues for all in higher education to discuss and learn from. The group of authors they have assembled have both the scholarly background and practice-based knowledge to help the field move forward in its understanding of AAPI students and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions.”</p><p>Marybeth Gasman, Judy & Howard Berkowitz Professor of Education</p><p>University of Pennsylvania</p><p>“A first of its kind, this book will become an essential read for colleges and universities that educate Asian American, Native American and Pacific Islander students. The chapter authors offer asset-based practices that can and should be used by practitioners striving to undo the historical remnants of whiteness that continue to hinder the success of those who are racially minoritized.” </p><p>Gina Ann Garcia, Associate Professor, Administrative and Policy Studies</p><p>University of Pittsburgh</p><p>“This book is critical for realizing that campus settings are mutable points of intervention—sites of possibilities for responding to the impediments encountered by low-income AAPI students. Through a deeper understanding of AANAPISIs, we learn more about the unique needs and challenges of low-income AAPI college students, as well as the institutions that serve them, and how this information is relevant to the growing body of knowledge regarding MSIs overall. And, with a comprehensive review of student services and programs, culturally responsive pedagogy, cultivation of student leadership and development, and cross campus collaboration within AANAPISIs, this book offers glimpse into their potential and why AANAPISIs are important to the future of higher education.”</p><p>Robert T.
