Strangers from a Different Shore by Ronald Takaki
An overview of Asian American history, written by an American with Japanese roots, this work of popular history gives voice to Asian Americans past and present. It reveals the aspirations and accomplishments of people who are often seen as foreigners in their own land. Asian Americans are America's latest ethnic success story. Having begun to immigrate to the United States in the nineteenth century, Asian Americans today, made up of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Indians, and other nationalities, are a diverse, yet strikingly accomplished group. Until now, there has been no single overview of Asian American history.
Ronald Takaki (1939-2009) established the Ethnic Studies Ph.D. program at the University of California, Berkeley, where he taught for thirty years. He was the author of six books, including Strangers from a Different Shore: A History of Asian Americans and Double Victory: A Multicultural History of America in World War II.
