When compiling data for the article "Small Spaces for Different Faces: Political Science Scholarship on Asian Pacific Americans" (July 2004 PS), I inadvertently omitted the numbers for one issue of Social Science Quarterly. The omission does not change any of the rankings, but it does alter some figures slightly. The correct numbers for the affected totals are as follows:

Asian Americans have received relatively little attention from
political scientists. Although a rapidly growing segment of the
population, their political behaviors, impacts on political
institutions, and the policies affecting them have been rarely
studied in our discipline.

Explores the political science research produced on Asian Pacific Americans, the degree to which such research exists among political science's subfields, whether & why the corpus has increased over time, & how much research on racial & ethnic minorities in the US is being published in general. Analysis of 20 top political science journals (N = 98 articles) & the APSA annual meeting programs, 1990-2003, indicates that scholarship on Asian Pacific Americans is scarce. Interdisciplinary & sociology journals published the most work on Asian Pacific Americans & race/ethnicity, with the former producing increasingly more symposia on the topic over time. An increase in papers on Asian Pacific Americans presented at APSA conferences is evidenced after 1998, viewed as perhaps a function of institutional change in APSA. No clear upward trend can be seen in the number of articles on Asian Pacific Americans, with articles generally concentrated in particular journals. Factors behind this dearth of work are cited. 2 Tables, 1 Figure, 8 References. J. Zendejas

Asian Pacific American Politics presents some of the most recent research on Asian American politics, including both quantitative and qualitative examinations of the role of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans in some of today's major political controversies. In the highly polarized politics of the United States in the early 21st century, non-Black racial minorities such as Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans will increasingly find themselves swept into the epicenter of many of the divisive controversies. This timely volume presents the latest scholarly research on some of these issues, examining questions such as Asian American support for #Black Lives Matter, responses to racially-charged attacks, and the differences in the political socialization, politicization, and community-based activism within and across sectors of the Asian American population. In addition to examining political identity, voting participation, political mobilization, transnational politics, and partisan formation, the volume also investigates important, but little discussed, issues such as the Native Hawaiian sovereignty movement, political incorporation of Filipino Americans, and the struggle to establish "comfort women" memorials in the United States. Contributors also examine, through dialogues, how Asian Americans fit into the larger world of American racial politics, the extent to which they are likely to build coalitions with other communities of color, and the boundaries and contours of Asian American political theory
