A welcome look at the diversity of Asian American cultures. —Reference and Research Book News
No reader . . . can go away from the book without a sense of the immense complexity of Asian America today. —The Journal of Asian Studies
Since the first three documented Chinese arrived in this country in 1848, more than six million Asians have followed. The huge immigrations of recent years have prompted a surge of interest in the new Asian American experience. In Asian Americans, these immigrants and their families present their own stories—why they came to America and what it means to be Asian in America today.
Joann Faung Jean Lee, also the author of Asian Americans in the Twenty-first Century (now available in paperback from The New Press), is currently a professor and the chair of the communication department at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey. She has taught at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University and was formerly a broadcast journalist for CNN. She lives in Northvale, New Jersey.
