Drawing heavily upon U.S. 2000 Census data, The New Face analyzes the latest population and socioeconomic trends in the 12.5 million-strong APA population. Illustrated with hundreds of informative charts, maps, and photos, The New Face is an invaluable resource and reference for scholars and students, policymakers, foundations and community groups, libraries and marketers. Excerpt: "Although Asian Pacific Americans comprised less than one percent of the total U.S. population in 1960, they increased their share to just under four percent by 2000, including hapas, those of mixed ancestry. In absolutely numbers, the Asian American population grew from just under 1 million in 1960 to 10 million in 2000 - a tenfold increase. The Census predicted that this rapid growth will continue through the next two decades, with Asian Pacific Americans projected to number about 19.6 million and comprise an estimated 6 percent of the nation's population by 2020." ## Table of Contents SECTION I.

AsianWeek
Editorial Focus.:U.S Census.
In 1977, the same year Fang began making plans for "AsianWeek", the United States Office of Management and Budget ordered the U.S. Census Bureau and federal agencies to create a pan-ethnic Asian category, “Asian or Pacific Islander”. Prior to that, data was only collected in five sub-categories  (Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, and Hawaiian). As the 1980 U.S. Census results were released, "AsianWeek" offered extensive editorial coverage in its pages which included special sections full of tables and figures. 
 "AsianWeek" continued its focus on Asian Pacific Islander demographics throughout the publication’s history. After the 1990 Census, "AsianWeek" published a booklet, Asians in America: 1990 Census.
