"A comprehensive survey, Asian American History places Asian immigration to America in international and domestic contexts, and explores the significant elements that define Asian America: imperialism and global capitalist expansion, labor and capital, race and ethnicity, immigration and exclusion, family and work, community and gender roles, assimilation and multiculturalism, panethnicity and identity, transnationalism and globalization and new challenges and opportunities. It is an updated and easily accessible textbook for high school and college students as well as anyone who is interested in Asian American history. Asian American History: Covers the major and minor Asian American ethnic groups.
