Praise for Asian America
"This volume of solid
scholarship presents fresh and original research findings highlighting
new phenomena in Asian American communities."—Shehong Chen,
University of Massachusetts, Lowell
Description:
The last half century witnessed a dramatic change in the
geographic, ethnographic, and socioeconomic structure of Asian American
communities. While traditional enclaves were strengthened by waves of
recent immigrants, Asian Americans also created new urban and suburban
communities with or without geographical boundaries
Asian America
is the first comprehensive look at post-1960s Asian American
communities in the United States and Canada. From Chinese Americans in
Chicagoland to Vietnamese Americans in Orange County, this
multi-disciplinary collection spans a wide comparative and panoramic
scope. Contributors from an array of academic fields focus on global
views of Asian American communities as well as on territorial and
cultural boundaries.
Presenting groundbreaking perspectives, Asian America revises worn
assumptions and examines current challenges Asian American communities
face in the twenty-first century.
