Focuses on the experience of Asians in America from the immigrants of the 1840s to the present
Kim tracks major themes, analyzes stereotypes and discusses the search for social identity, women's roles, and responses to America's racism--New York Times Book Review Kim does an excellent job. The book is a comprehensive view of what has been going on in both the social and literary histories of Asian America. --Luis Francia, Asiaweek Literary Review
