Even with the significant diversity between groups identified as Asian American, literature continues to place these numerous populations into one group. Combining such diverse groups into one category hides large differences and tends to defeat the purpose of much of the research (Durvasula & Mylvaganam, 1994). The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between ethnic identity, acculturation, and self-esteem in second-generation Asian Indian adults based on the assertion that ethnic identity is crucial to self-esteem and psychological functioning of ethnic group members (Phinney, 1990). Using the Suinn-Lew Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (Suinn, Rikard-Figueroa, Lew, & Vigil, 1987), the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure (Phinney, 1992), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), correlational analyses were conducted. The results of this study indicate no significant relationship between the participants' ethnic identity and self esteem, ethnic identity and age, or self esteem and age. The data showed that the majority of participants endorsed an integrated level of acculturation. The results provide a preliminary understanding of the way in which this population views and processes its ability to develop a bicultural way of living in the United States.

Dr. Pyong Gap Min and Rose Kim present a compilation of narratives on ethnic identity written by first-, 1.5-, and second-generation Asian American professionals. In an attempt to reconcile the dichotomies long associated with being both Asian and American, these narratives trace the formation of each author's ethnic identity and discuss its importance in shaping his or her professional career. The narratives touch upon common themes of prejudice and discrimination, loss and retention of ethnic subculture, ethnic versus non-ethnic friendship networks, and racial and inter-racial dating patterns. When coupled with Dr. Min's comprehensive introductory chapter on contemporary trends in the study of ethnicity, these narratives prove that constructing one's ethnicity is truly a dynamic process and serve as an invaluable resource for anyone interested in teaching or studying the concepts of ethnic identity.
