The author of the passage is primarily concerned with doing which of the following?
Option (C)
In the whole passage, the writer has narrated the Asian American study from its non-existence to the difficulties it faces today. Without questioning on its existence or other matters, he has clearly briefed out the problems which he thinks are the root to the still not so firm existence of the Asian American studies. The author is neither recommending any methodology nor evaluating any course of action. Hence Options A and D can be eliminated. The author talks about Asian American studies but is not describing any course of study. So option B is not correct.
