Book Synopsis
While exploring anew the meanings of Asian American social history, this title argues that the core values and ideals of the nation emanate today not from the so-called mainstream but from the margins, from among Asian and African Americans, Latinos and American Indians, women, and the gay and lesbian community.

Trade Review

"A concise, highly readable, and state-of-the-art reflection on Asian American history by one of its leading scholars."

* Western Historical Quarterly *

"A convenient summary that deftly synthesizes recent scholarship exploring the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and culture among Asian Americans in the U.S. This stimulating and sophisticated treatment, written by a mature scholar, is well worth reading."
