Through numerous interviews, Diana Wu demonstrates the unique position of Asian Pacific Americans in the U.S. workforce.

Examine personal accounts of discrimination in the workplace, sexual harassment, and familial relations. This book offers Asian Pacific Americans strategies to cope with these and other issues, and to achieve their greatest expectations.
