Preferred term
pan-asian identity
Definition
- Pan-Asian identity denotes a specific consciousness whereby individuals of Asian background identify primarily as Asian Americans owing to a shared experience of racism in the United States. The formation of pan-Asian identity is complicated by the socially constructed nature of the Asian American category that came into existence with the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1924.
