Title
Asian American Arts and Culture in the San Francisco Bay Area
Description
Pacific Time explores the ideas, trends and cultural patterns that now flow freely between Asia and North America. The program covers economics, language, politics, public policy, arts and sports. Reporting from both sides of the Pacific Ocean, Pacific Time emphasizes stories that are not told regularly in the news media — stories about trans-Pacific connections and about the collisions, blending and change that occur when Asia and America meet.
Pacific Time reports on the unknown. For many American listeners, Asia remains among the world's least-known regions, even as a growing portion of the U.S. economy depends upon exchanges with Pacific Rim nations. On the U.S. mainland, the realities of Asian-American communities remain obscured and distorted by decades-old preconceptions and newer stereotypes.
KQED Public Radio's Pacific Time probes beneath the platitudes that flavor much media treatment of Asian nations and Asian-American communities. Pacific Time illuminates the growing ties and mutual influences that characterize U.S.-Asian interactions. And it does so in lively programs that are distinguished by high production values and enriched with strong voices, featuring first-person stories, commentaries and interviews.
