This article examines the Asian diaspora experience from historical exclusion to the production of oppositional and alternative knowledges that count in education. The first section critically examines historical and contemporary discourses across disciplines on the construction of identity such as who is considered an Asian and Asian American, who comprises the Asian diaspora, and with what consequences. The second section explores theoretical frameworks proposed by scholars for deconstructing received knowledge about Asians as an ontological subject constructed within binaries and hierarchies and radical methodologies for research that speak to the lived diaspora experience. The third section presents Asian diaspora counterstories of resistance, activism, and advocacy and the production of transformative knowledges worth knowing in education. The article concludes with the hope that the Asian diaspora experience will open possibilities for Asian Diaspora Experience (ADE) as a field of inquiry in continuing the cultural and political work of social and educational change.
