Special Delivery: Post Office Named After Caroline Chang

by Harmony Witte

Just in time for the Chinese New Year, the Fort Point Post Office at 25 Dorchester Ave. in Boston has been named after Chinatown activist Caroline Chang. This marks the first Federal building in Massachusetts to be named after a person from the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. “Caroline made history, even though she never set out to do it. She was just doing the work of advancing civil rights and public health and equity. But she made history. […]

Order Said to ‘Criminalize’ Some Non-Citizen Students for Protest

by Adam Smith

In the spring of 2024, students at colleges all over Greater Boston called out what they viewed as a campaign of genocide in Gaza. The students objected to the U.S. paying for much of Israel’s military expenses. They protested their universities’ ties with U.S. companies who build the weapons and fighter jets used by Israeli forces, by calling for divestment and boycott. And they marched against Israel for dropping bombs and flying drones throughout the strip, demolishing entire neighborhoods. But […]

Don’t Miss Out on These Credits

by Mark Cotton

Tax season, regardless of the year, is both confusing and stressful. This can lead to some families putting off their taxes, incurring needless fees and penalties. However, tax season is also an opportunity for families to claim a number of tax credits that can be highly beneficial to them. A common misconception is that individuals don’t believe they have earned enough income to be eligible for tax credits. The reality is that every person’s individual situation is different and working […]

Time to Brush Up on Kids’ Dental Health

by Cheen Loo

One of the most common questions I hear as a pediatric dentist is, “When should I start bringing my child to the dentist?” I remember a dad walking into my office, his chubby-cheeked one-year-old daughter perched on his hip. He glanced around, a bit unsure, and asked, “So… am I too early? Too late?” I smiled. “Actually, you’re right on time.” He raised an eyebrow. “Wait—you’re telling me my baby, who barely has any teeth, already needs a dentist?” I […]

All Immigrants Have Rights, Say Attorneys

by Esther Wang

Despite the fear and chaos created across the U.S. as immigration raids detain and deport more and more people, those living in the U.S. still have constitutional and legal protections, such as against illegal searches and warrantless home entries. That was a key takeaway from the media briefing “ICE Is Knocking. What Are Your Rights?” conducted by Ethnic Media Services. Just in the past few weeks, more than 200,000 people have been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and at […]

In Sayaka Murata’s World, Love Is Stranger Than Fiction

by Christopher John Stephens

Sometimes the thrill of a strange novel comes in fits and starts. It’s less thrilling in its explosive consistency than it is in its ability to sustain a mood, to build and maintain a premise. Sayaka Murata’s new novel Vanishing World succeeds in more ways than it probably knows. It’s a novel of suppositions. It’s a speculative dystopian story in which society reproduces solely by artificial insemination. Traditional reproduction between a husband and wife is considered incest. As we come […]

Developing Chinatown’s Future: A Conversation With ACDC’s Executive Director, Angie Liou

by Zoe Voss Lee

Walking through Chinatown today, you will encounter layers of its identity: the memories of a Chinatown long gone, the visions of a Chinatown that could have been, the Chinatown that remains a home for long-term residents, and the Chinatown being reshaped for tourists and transplants. In a neighborhood that has been created and stewarded by immigrant Asian American residents, luxury developments now dot the landscape – raising rents, and displacing residents. At the same time, those developments have exacerbated the […]

Don’t Say ‘It Won’t Affect Me’: Immigration Expert Gives Take on Trump Crackdown on Immigrants

by Adam Smith

In just the past few weeks, the second administration of Pres. Donald Trump has issued a barrage of executive orders and efforts — as long promised — around immigration enforcement as well as sweeping attempts to upturn rights promised in the U.S. Constitution, such as birth-right citizenship. Most recently his pick for longtime South Dakota governor and former lawmaker, Kristi Noem, as the 8th Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, has stirred concerns from some groups, because […]

Newest Asian Restaurant, Grocery Hub? Brookline

by Yuchen Hong

Buttoned-down suburb of Boston sees an explosion of Chinese, Japanese and Korean food, shopping spots For Asian international students like Nikki Song, Newbury Street used to be her go-to spot to hang out. “It was our only option,” said Song, a Chinese international student studying at Northeastern. But then she discovered an unlikely alternative: Brookline, a town once mainly viewed as a quiet and stodgy suburb with dining options that mostly included family restaurants, a couple of Irish bars and […]
