- Abstract
In this paper, we explore the significance of the Wing Luke Asian Museum (WLAM) in Seattle, Washington as a site where pan-ethnic Asian American identity can be promoted by analyzing the strategies employed by the staff and artists of the WLAM to promote, foster, and disseminate a larger Asian Pacific Islander American pan-ethnic identity. We argue that museums are a significant site that can "provide a setting for persons of diverse Asian backgrounds to establish social ties and to discuss their common problems and experiences."
