Lau portrays in words and pictures a community in constant flux as it moves to the push and pull of immigration. Blues and Greens has a lot to say about Asian Americans. What emerges is an acutely observed, nuanced critique of where Asian Americans--native-born, refugee, and migrant--are today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Chong Lau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0824823230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780824823238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Hawaii Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.51w x 0.36d","brand":"Alan Chong Lau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717781483775,"sku":"9780824823238","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ebf0450f-8d7a-4332-9215-5e9106fe48a1.jpg?v=1705689430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blues-and-greens-alan-chong-lau-9780824823238","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
