About the Editor
About the Contributors
"The major strength is that it adequately covers both the history
and contemporary trends of Asian American groups. Another
commendable point of this book is the strength of its
contributors. This book is accessible to a wide range of audiences.
Min and his contributors provide an excellent introduction to
contemporary Asian American studies. Instructors looking for texts
on sociological studies of Asian Americans would do well to
consider Asian Americans."
*Etsuko Maruoka*
"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."
