Asian American History

By Huping Ling

Asian American History provides a comprehensive historical dive into Asian immigration to the United States, exploring it in international and domestic contexts and alongside the significant elements that define Asian America: imperialism and global capitalist expansion; labor and capital; race and ethnicity; immigration and exclusion; family and work; community and gender roles; assimilation and multiculturalism; panethnicity and identity; transnationalism and globalization; and new challenges and opportunities. Huping Ling traces the roots of Asian immigration from the late 1700s through intervening centuries of racial prejudice, wartime experiences, legal restrictions, and social mobility into the 2010s. It is an up-to-date and easily accessible resource for high school and college students as well as anyone who is interested in Asian American history.
