- Summary
- "Offering a broad overview of the Asian American experience, the Second Edition of Asian Americans: Contemporary Trends and Issues provides an accessible resource for all students interested in this expanding and important ethnic population. Although the contributors examine Asian Americans in general, they also address individual ethnic groups, including Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian. Unique in its approach, Asian Americans looks at the issues, successes, and obstacles for each of these populations and provides a comparative focus on each group."
