<span style="font-size: 16px;">I am pleased to announce the publication of my book <b><i>Advertising Diversity: Ad Agencies and the Creation of Asian American Consumers </i></b><i>(</i>Duke University Press). The book is based on ethnographic research I conducted
in over ten Asian American Ad agencies as well as six general market ad agencies between 2008 and 2012. It explores the rise and development of Asian American advertising and how this niche segment is represented in ads for broadcast media and public relations.
Providing an ethnographic look at the day-to-day work of Asian American advertising as well as the place of this niche in the shifting landscape of an ad world grappling with multiculturalism, it explores how advertising has framed Asian Americans as “model
consumers” in ways that legitimate their presence in American popular culture.</span></p>
