Description
Using an interdisciplinary approach of history and social science, the authors compare the experiences of Asian Americans who have grown from predominantly Chinese and Japanese of the 1960s to include the Filipinos, Asian Indians, the Koreans, the Pacific Islanders, and the southeast Asians. The authors believe this transformation is the result of changes in American foreign and domestic policy, the war in Vietnam, and changes in U.S. immigration and refugee policies. ISBN 0-13-049164-0 (pbk.): $20.00.
