DESCRIPTION:Portland State University's Center for Japanese Studies present
 s\n\n<strong>Asian Americans in the&nbsp\;American Spy Service in Asia</st
 rong>\n By Brian Hayashi\, Professor\, Kyoto University\n\nHow did Chinese
 \, Japanese\, and Korean Americans affect the larger political&amp\; devel
 opments in East Asia during and after World War II? Given their small nume
 rical presence in the United States and the fact that they were distrusted
  by federal government officials blinded by anti-Asian stereotypes\, one w
 ould expect a little\, if any impact on the larger picture of the impositi
 on of the American order on East Asia during and after World Wa II. Howeve
 r\, through an analysis of dozens of Asian American spies\, working for th
 e Office of Strategic Services (forerunner of the CIA today)\, a&nbsp\;ver
 y different picture emerges. Asian Americans played a significant role in 
 shaping the type of democracy that did and did not take root in East Asia 
 through their service in the United States' first centralized intelligence
  agency as spies\, interpreters\, propaganda writers\, and guerrilla warfa
 re specialists.\n\nSponsored by Verne and Aki Naito of Made in Oregon Stor
