firm review

write your reflection paper on the two assigned readings (Abu-Lughod and Bird). In ADDITION, I would like you to respond to the discussion questions below regarding the documentary film, Slaying the Dragon. Please either handwrite or print out your answers and I will collect them in class on Tuesday as part of your participation credit for the course.

1. What specific stereotypes of Asian American/Pacific Islander women have been historically represented in media and popular culture? 

2. According to the AAPI women interviewed in the film, how have these portrayals impacted their everyday lives?

3. Do you believe any of these stereotypes continue to be perpetuated today? What examples can you think of in contemporary films/television/etc?
