In\u003cbr\u003e\n the past fifty years, Asian Americans have helped change the face of \u003cbr\u003e\nAmerica and are now the fastest growing group in the United States. But \u003cbr\u003e\nmuch of their long history has been forgotten. In her sweeping, powerful\u003cbr\u003e\n new book, Erika Lee considers the rich, complicated, and sometimes \u003cbr\u003e\ninvisible histories of Asians in the United States (Huffington Post). The Making of Asian America\u003cbr\u003e\n shows how generations of Asian immigrants and their American-born \u003cbr\u003e\ndescendants have made and remade Asian American life, from sailors who \u003cbr\u003e\ncame on the first trans-Pacific ships in the 1500 to the Japanese \u003cbr\u003e\nAmericans incarcerated during World War II. Over the past fifty years, a\u003cbr\u003e\n new Asian America has emerged out of community activism and the arrival\u003cbr\u003e\n of new immigrants and refugees. No longer a despised minority, Asian \u003cbr\u003e\nAmericans are now held up as America s model minorities in ways that \u003cbr\u003e\nreveal the complicated role that race still plays in the United States. Published\u003cbr\u003e\n fifty years after the passage of the United States Immigration and \u003cbr\u003e\nNationality Act of 1965, these powerful Asian American stories are \u003cbr\u003e\ninspiring, and Lee herself does them justice in a book that is long \u003cbr\u003e\noverdue (Los Angeles Times). But more than that, The Making of Asian America is an epic and eye-opening (Minneapolis Star-Tribune) new way of understanding America itself, its complicated histories of race and immigration, and its place in the world today.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erika Lee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44269446332476,"sku":"9781476739410","price":1137.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/the-making-of-asian-america-a-history-9781476739410.jpg?v=1776846508","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/the-making-of-asian-america-a-history","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
