Abstract

The article in Buildings & Landscapes explores the flourishing scholarship on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) heritage in vernacular architecture studies. It highlights key themes in AAPI history through case studies, such as preserving Chinese exclusion-era properties and studying the Jue Joe Ranch in California. The research also delves into documenting the vernacular landscapes of internment camps and the challenges Japanese Americans faced in resettlement post-World War II. The article emphasizes the importance of balancing official accounts with community voices and perspectives to correct narratives of systemic oppression and highlight human agency in adapting places to meet cultural goals and achieve equity.
