I read Anil G. Jacob's piece in the January 2006 issue of
PS (“Asian American Political Participation:
Research Challenges for an Emerging Minority,” 103–106) with a
mixture of admiration and consternation. He has my admiration for
getting published as a graduate student, and that too in
PS—a feat that I'm sure will stand him good
measure when he is on the job market. However, he has my
consternation because he makes slight of a field that has,
especially in the last five years, produced a good deal of
scholarship on a myriad of questions relating to Asian-American
political behavior.
