My thesis will be a collection of short stories about Asian and Asian-American families and the expectations of their children that leads them to certain decisions and actions. The majority of the stories will be focused on Vietnamese-American families, but I will explore the family dynamics within the Chinese, Korean, and Japanese families as well. Through this short story collection, I hope to dramatize the internal conflicts of children of Asian and Asian-American families as they question their identities and aspirations and as they struggle to preserving culture while simultaneously creating their own individual cultures and redefining what it means to be Asian or Asian-American. For my critical introduction, I will examine the immigrant literature of Junot Diaz. Particularly influential to my own writing are Diaz’s focuses on familial relationships, his experiments with point of view, and his use of a native family language (in his case, Spanish) alongside English.

This study is intended to provide information about the situation of first-generation Vietnamese women to the IRCO Parent and Child Program Department in Portland, Oregon. Nutrition intervention and food assistance currently offered to Vietnamese women enrolled in this program is the focus of the study. The women interviewed characterize themselves and their eating patterns as Vietnamese, though many changes in practice and concept reflect those of American culture. The study reveals several categories of food acculturation that act both separately and influence the development of each other. These categories are diet, taste, solutions, and concepts. Recommendations are made according to the categories and process of acculturation demonstrated by the participating women and the effects of this process on the health of the women and their families. / Graduation date: 2004
