The South Issue
Mosey with us through the South, a region rich with history and culture -- and one that is vital to, but often overlooked in, Asian American history.
Dangerous Times for Recycling Scavengers
This isn't the first time Asians have been in the news collecting cans; in fact, the issue has become a political one. Writer Beleza Chan digs into the controversy around "recycling poaching" -- Gov. Schwarzenegger recently signed a bill that would make it illegal for recycling centers to pay more than $50 without proper identification -- in the about-to-drop Consumption Issue of Hyphen. Read the full story here.

re: Dangerous Times for Recycling Scavengers
So sad and disturbing. What kind of soulless people would beat a little old lady? Could this be a hate crime?There is a scene in Ham Tran's Journey From the Fall that shows the grandma going out to collect cans, and that made me really feel for can collectors. Seeing the whole story of the family really humanized it.
