Abstract:
California's Silicon Valley often calls to mind a landscape of white-collar office parks and manicured research campuses filled with young dot-com boomers and self-made millionaires. Much of the writings on this vast suburban region likewise have tended to concentrate on the area as a breeding ground for invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship--home to America's creative class and the pioneers of the digital revolution. This narrative, however, fails to acknowledge the diversity of people and places behind the region's storied image. In a place often measured by the number of start-ups and venture capitalists, the lives of other residents and communities, especially those on the margins, frequently have gone unnoticed. Here, Lung-Amam employs the view of Asian malls as a cultural landscape to investigate Asian American social histories of Silicon Valley.
