Well-researched…
“The Making of Asian America” is a well-researched book that gives you exceeding confidence that the historian has done her homework for you. This history is incredibly well-paced, with a thoughtful flow of historical records, stats, and stories of individuals. Somehow it manages to give attention to specific communities while also addressing the thread of the entire Asian American experience.
Description
Written by Scribd Editors
Erika Lee, the author of The Making of Asian America: A History, is an associate professor of history at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. In her book, Lee provides a comprehensive look at the Asian American experience across the northern hemisphere.
Unique to Lee’s book, despite what the title says, she covers the Asian American experience within the United States and throughout Canada, Mexico, and even South American countries over the past fifty years.
Lee provides a new look at understanding America itself, including all of the complicated web of history amongst races, immigration, and what it means in society today. Relive much of the forgotten history of Asian Americans in the last half-century.
Gain a true insight into the Asian American experience, not just the Chinese or Japanese, but also the Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, South Asian, and Southeast Asian experiences and perspectives through The Making of Asian America: A History.
