Abstract
We think of Transpacific Studies as a new research paradigm, a dynamic model that goes beyond conventional American, Asian and Asian American studies models. In examining the phenomenon of Transpacific movement, Transpacific Studies enlarges the scope of American Studies to address Pacific Rim countries and cultures and their impact upon the United States, and vice versa. We also shift the focus from the anchored, traditional view of Asian studies as being attached to particular countries or areas to one more attuned to the great traffic of people, resources and materials in the present century, often described as the “Pacific Century.” Such a century requires the development of a more innovative approach to Asian interactions than the legacy of Asian studies, which is a legacy that we respect but do not wish to reproduce. Asian American studies has been key to challenging this legacy, drawing attention to the creation of diasporic and blended populations. The people who cross the Pacific include not only immigrants but dual citizens, “flexible” citizens, refugees, and exiles. But Asian American studies is also entrenched in U.S. assumptions, especially evident when seen from Asian locations.
