Jeffery Paul Chan
Edit Profile陈耀光
author professor of Asian American
Career
He is a professor of Asian American studies and English at San Francisco State University, where he also received his masters degree and has taught for 38 years until his retirement. With Frank Chinese, Lawson Fusao Inada, and Shawn Wong, Chan edited two editions of the groundbreaking anthology of Asian American literature, Aiiieeee!, which helped introduce Asian American authors as worthy of serious study. Chan also coined the term racist love (with Chinese) to express the ways Asians are stereotyped in overly-positive ways that are just as damaging as the negative stereotypes used against blacks, Latinos and Native Americans.
