Asian American History 101 - The History of Rice Cultivation

The History of Rice Cultivation

08/28/23 • 27 min

Asian American History 101

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 33. If you assumed that white rice came from Asia, then you’d be right. But do you know the history of rice cultivation and domestication? It may have happened 8000 or more years ago. How did it spread across Asia and the rest of the world? When was rice introduced in America? In this episode we explore the History of Rice Cultivation and give you cool facts about how rice is grown. In our recurring segment we discuss how you can help the people in Maui. The fires, loss of life, destruction of historic and sacred lands, and challenges in recovery are just some of the issues the residents are facing. If you’d like to help, we give you some tips, but be sure you visit ‘Āina Momona, Maui Rapid Response, and the Maui Mutual Aid Fund for starters. There’s even a curated list of GoFundMe and Venmo accounts of residents.

A Conversation with Rev. Liên Shutt

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 32. Some of the best conversations we have are the ones that make us think. It’s even better when we not only think, but feel we have learned additional strategies for healing and restoration. Today’s conversation is with Rev. Liên Shutt, an insightful and engaging Buddhist leader who strives to make Zen practice accessible to all. Her new book will release on August 22nd. Entitled Home is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path, it introduces readers to mindful practices for integrating the Engaged Four Noble Truths and the Engaged Eightfold Path to progress on the path towards healing. Rev. Liên teaches at the Access to Zen Meditation Group, the East Bay Meditation Center, and other Bay Area Groups. In this conversation we talk about the Engaged Four Noble Truths, The Engaged Eightfold Path, the importance of words and reframing, how Home is Here can help with the healing process, intersectionality with the BIPOC and Queer communities, and so much more. We highly recommend going out and getting a copy of Home is Here and attending the upcoming book tour to meet Rev. Liên.
