Description

A wide-ranging examination of Asian American identity, belonging, and political power, this book challenges the familiar story of Asian Americans as a uniformly successful and harmonious “model minority.” Drawing on history, reporting, and cultural analysis, it explores how immigration, race, class, and generational divides have shaped the experiences of Asian Americans in the United States. With an incisive and often personal perspective, it asks what solidarity and community might look like for a population whose varied histories are too often reduced to a single narrative.
