Asian Americans
"Compared to many existing texts on this subject, which tend to take a rather historical approach, this book focuses on more contemporary Asian experiences. Thus, Min has provided a new tool for those of use who have looked for adequate material to teach current Asian American trends in advanced undergraduate courses in the sociology of race as well as in ethnic studies. Encompassing a variety of perspectives from prominent scholars makes this book a valuable device to examine the less visible aspects of Asian Americans′ lives. Students and educators alike would certainly benefit from diligent study of this text." --TEACHING SOCIOLOGY, reviewed October 2006 by Etsuko Maruoka, SUNY-Stony Br...

Asian Americans
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.
