Abstract
Since the mass outbreak of COVID-19 in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China, racist attacks, harassment, and hate speech towards people of Asian descent have drastically increased in the United States and many other parts of the world. Drawing on the social-ecological perspective, this chapter examines anti-Asian racism and discrimination experienced by Asians and Asian Americans, their responses, and the impact that such experience has had on their lives in the United States during the pandemic. The study sample consisted of 249 adults from 20 states who are primarily Taiwanese, Chinese, and of other Asian ethnicities. The chapter also examines approaches that governments and nongovernmental organizations have taken with regard to the rise of anti-Asian racism amid the pandemic. Results have implications for policy, practice, and research. © 2021 selection and editorial matter, J. Michael Ryan;individual chapters, the contributors.
