It examines, comments, and questions the changing assumptions and contexts underlying the experiences and contributions of an incredibly diverse population of Americans. Arriving and settling in this nation as early as the 1790s, with American-born generations stretching back more than a century, Asian Americans have become an integral part of the American experience; this cleverly organized book marks the trajectory of that journey, offering researchers invaluable information and interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Part 1 offers a synoptic narrative history, a chronology, and a set of periodizations that reflect different ways of constructing the Asian American past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Part 2 presents lucid discussions of historical debates--such as interpreting the anti-Chinese movement of the late 1800s and the underlying causes of Japanese American internment during World War II--and such emerging themes as transnationalism and women and gender issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Part 3 contains a historiographical essay and a wide-ranging compilation of book, film, and electronic resources for further study of core themes and groups, including Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Hmong, Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Okihiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231115105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231115100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.25w x 1.07d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2001 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRec Ref Bks for Small\/Med Libr\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2002 pg. 1762\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 45\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 105 - Strongly Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2002 pg. 1867\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2001","brand":"Gary Okihiro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44169644409087,"sku":"9780231115100","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c44c6a4a-55a0-46df-bb5d-102e9962dba8.jpg?v=1689654111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-columbia-guide-to-asian-gary-okihiro-9780231115100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
