Topics include marriage attitudes of second-generation Korean Americans in New York City; voices of gay Asian American youth in West Hollywood; reasons behind the emergence and growth of Cambodian American youth gangs in Providence, Rhode Island; Asian American youth and the cyber- cafe obsession; the commercialization of Asian Indian culture; Asian American women's youth consumer culture; and US-born Chinese American Youth in the 1930s and 1950s.
