Research paper thumbnail of Cultural Preservation Policy and Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders: Reimagining Historic Preservation in Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities

Historic and cultural preservation is a significant issue for Asian Americans and Pacific Islande... more Historic and cultural preservation is a significant issue for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) seeking to safeguard important historic places, preserve unique cultural practices, and receive official recognition of civic contributions. However, few sites associated with AAPI history and cultures have been recognized as landmarks. With the fiftieth anniversary of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the Department of the Interior and the National Park Service have embarked on an Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Initiative to explore how the legacy of AAPIs can be recognized, preserved, and interpreted for future generations. To understand what we could be commemorating on the act's fifieth anniversary, this essay will offer policy recommendations for preserving, landmarking, and interpreting AAPI historic and cultural sites into 2040 and beyond.

However, few sites associated with AAPI history and cultures have been recognized as landmarks. There has been substantial movement forward by federal agencies and national organizations in developing a more inclusive and diverse approach to traditional standards and policies in order to reflect the growing numbers of underrepresented sociocultural groups, including AAPIs. To addresses these issues, federal leadership in the Department of the Interior and National Park Service launched the Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Initiative and Theme Study. The theme study, “Finding a Path Forward: Asian American/Pacific Islander National Historic Landmarks Th...

New paradigms are needed, however, to move this effort to the next stage. We propose in this paper a co-infection approach that highlights infection with HIV and Hepatitis B/C among Asian Pacific Islanders (APIs) in Los Angeles, CA as an example of how co-infection highlights severe gaps in medical and social service systems stemming from complex needs associated with concurrent illnesses. We present results from a recent study (2007-2009) of HIV/viral hepatitis co-infection, using interviews/questionnaires and blood tests of HIV positive Asians (English, Chinese, and Vietnamese speaking) (N=16), and interviews with medical and social service providers (N=24). The interviews for both sets of study participants focused on service needs, use, and gaps, and the factors enabling or obstructing acc...
