Sobre este artículo
New York: Back Bay Books, 1998. Revised and Updated Edition. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 5x1x8. Revised and updated. Remainder mark. 1998 Trade Paperback. xv, 591 pp. In an extraordinary blend of narrative history, personal recollection, and oral testimony, the author presents a sweeping history of Asian Americans. He writes of the Chinese who laid tracks for the transcontinental railroad, of plantation laborers in the canefields of Hawaii, of "picture brides" marrying strangers in the hope of becoming part of the American dream. He tells stories of Japanese Americans behind the barbed wire of U.S. internment camps during World War II, Hmong refugees tragically unable to adjust to Wisconsin's alien climate and culture, and Asian American students stigmatized by the stereotype of the "model minority.
