DESCRIPTION:Dong Phuong Bakery\, Governor Bobby Jindal\, Krewe De Bhangras\
 , ‘Manila Men’ in St. Malo\, and Camp Livingston (a Japanese American 
 internment site in Alexandria) are some of the known and unknown aspects o
 f the Asian presence in Louisiana. Join Science Café to explore the major
  themes in the LSU anthology Asians on the Third Coast: Other Races\, Othe
 r Cultures in Louisiana\, and discover both the rich story of Asians and A
 sian Americans in our state and the challenges involved in narrating their
  lives. As immigrants coming to the U.S. from Jordan to Japan\, Asians hav
 e changed Louisiana culturally\, politically\, and gastronomically as much
  as Louisiana has changed them.\n\n \n\nMadoka Kishi is a Professional-in-
