Heterogeneity, Hybridity, and Multiplicity
I think this article was especially important because it discusses and points out the differences in Asian groups as opposed to the ignorant notion that "all Asians are the same." Heterogeneity is used to show the differences among Asian Americans in terms of national origin, gender, class background, economic conditions, etc. In addition, Lowe uses the term hybridity to explain the history of survival within relationships of unequal power and domination. Overall, Lowe tries to use these two terms as well as multiplicity in order to shift the paradigm of Asian people being homogenous, fixed, and stable.
