Book Reviews 309 Language, Identity, and Stereotype among Southeast Asian American Youth: The Other Asian. Angela Reyes. Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc., 2007. xii + 183 pp. NANCY J. SMITH-HEFNER Boston University Based on a four-year study of an after-school program for Asian American youth, Angela Reyes’s book presents a discourse analysis of ethnic stereotypes and the ways they are used by young Southeast Asian Americans in their articulation of self and identity. The study focuses on the speech interactions of young people in a video-making project in urban Philadelphia. The project was established to “empower Southeast Asian youth” by offering the participants a safe space to explore issues important to their own communities and by fos- tering “problem-solving capacities and a sense of pride, accomplishment, and self-esteem among young Southeast Asian Americans” (p. 21). Most participants in the project were 1.5 generation or second generation immigrants; most also came from Cambodian or mixed Southeast Asian backgrounds. The author followed the students as they worked to produce short videos on their social worlds and challenges. Reyes served as an adult facilitator in the project, working with students as they prepared their videos and positioned themselves within U.S. discourses of race and ethnicity.
