The Author's point for Chapter 3 is to focus on Identity and Labels on how it can create communities.

Some few words and concepts in the book that were used often were "Amerasians" and "Orientals" specifically on Page 64 where it says "Yellow? Amerasian? Asian Nation?"

# data[].attributes.body
Yellow is not a weakness

it is sun, it is fire, it is dawn

a revolution color

a future we build on

From silence to strength,
from invisibility to claim,
we do not ask to be seen,
we demand to remain.

We are not your myth, your model, your shame,
We are power unmasked; we name our own name.

Ishizuka's main point for this chapter was to show how Asian Americans came together to forge a new political identity and to be represented amongst other groups as equals while also fighting against racism and embracing their Asian heritage.

# data[].attributes.body
• 1. The authors point of this chapter was to show readers how to stand up for themselves when times are hard. It always shows how they began to embrace Asian American as a political identity. The movement in fascinated self determination, solidarity, and anti imperialism. The chapter captures a  turning point where Asian Americans began to see themselves as part of a larger movement again white supremacies imperialism.

Beneath red banners, voices rise,
Asian youth with sharpened eyes.
Breaking silence, truth they claim,
Yellow Power lights a flame.

Linked with struggles, Black and Brown,
Chains of empire shaken down.
From Chinatown to campus halls,
A movement answers justice’s call.
No longer margins, they take their place,
Fists of unity, a proud new face.

# data[].attributes.body
Our voices silenced by the given names

Silently suffering without any identity

Yellow is the power we need to reclaim

Respect is sought but never given on its own mentally

Without having any shame or being to blame

We fight for it when it's not shown

Creating groups to find our name

Mirroring black Panthers but it's not the same

To rise against the oppressive atrocity

And break away from chains of conformity

Can you answer this question:

What’s your identity?

The focus of this chapter was on identity, especially how Asian Americans worked hard to move away from derogatory labels like ‘Oriental.’ Instead, they embraced the term ‘Asian American’

#4. Chapter 3 explores an ideological birth if personal identity to give courage and voice out the oppression Asian Americans have faced. From battling against the inappropriate use of language derogatory toward Asians, express their identity to newspaper, poems and even songs, uniting others who also have their identities questioned between other ethnic groups, and to stand against political decisions such as urban renewal and colonialism.

From years of oppression, frustration festers,

New language to express resentment and self-hate,

To voice out a new call, new identity to make,

Rejecting the slurs targeting their race,

Proud Asian Americans they are, they embrace,

Includes all Asians, from the Japanese to the Filipinos,

To stand up against the abuse where they must forgo,

Language gives power, to the oppressed and the oppressor.

What were some words/ concepts in the book?

# data[].attributes.body
Some words and concepts that stood out to me in the chapter include: "Model Minority", "Honky", "Self-Definition", "Chicano", "Yellow Peril", and "Amerasian".

# data[].attributes.body
The word/term chosen is "Amerasian". This term was formed to combat to negative names that referred to those who were Asian-American in the US, "'Amerasian Culture,' described Amerasians as having 'a common history of oppression here in this country and therefore a common bond' in opposition to the term 'Oriental'' (Ishizuka 67).

Chapter 3 of "Serve the People" by Karen Ishizuka dives deep into the rise of Asian independence and movements in response to discrimination. The chapter delves into how Asians in the US started to fight back and take the racism they faced into their own hands. Whether it be reclaiming negative terms, forming movement groups, or even publishing articles. Additionally, the chapter also discusses how other ethnic groups within the Asian diaspora such as Filipinos feel disconnected with the other Asian groups within the US. With this fight for inclusion for Filipinos came the addition of pacific islanders such as Samoans & Guamanians into the group of "Asian Americans" which change to add the new group in as well. The newly reformed "Asian American & Pacific Islanders" within the US rally and fight for their rights with new confidence and power.

# data[].attributes.body
The author's main point in chapter 3 was how to stand up for themselves, when they were getting mistreated, or when they felt invisible, Asian voices were not really heard. Throughout the chapter is also focused on how Asian Americans started to build their own identity in the 1960s and 70s.

We are together, we can rise

those who oppress us

On our color or shape of eyes

Though we come from different places

the struggle we fight for is still the same

We all have different faces

But there is a common cause for us to blame

Discrimination will keep us hindered

But standing up for ourselves will make us heard

We stopped assimilation

Because the mold was cracked,

The mirror distorted,

The norm was a lie beneath the stars

We saw the fractures,

How survival never meant silence,

So we rose

Asian, Black, Indigenous, Brown

Voices intertwined

the Third World Liberation Front,

A choir full of fight.

Solidarity became our language,

Freedom, our demand, and in unity.

We found power
