Opis

During the 1960s and the 1970s standard educational journals were ignoring the rising numbers of Asian-American children. This work analyzes the range of Asian-American education and provides American readers with information about individual ethnic groups.

Recenzje

"...a model of scholarly inquiry and serves to fill a large gap within the literature....an impressive accomplishment....represents the most comprehensive volume to date on the subject. Educators, scholars, policymakers, and journalists would all greatly benefit from reading this book because it provides detailed information on the diversity within and between Asian American groups. This book has not received the attention it deserves....a rich resource for those seeking to remedy insensitive and harmful policies or other practices that mask the great diversity and unique educational needs of students hidden under the generic, misunderstood, and misused label of 'Asian American.'"
—Journal of Language, Identity, and Education

"Weinberg's scope across the volume and his synthesis within each chapter are remarkable....his recognition of each nationality's particular historical experience with schooling both in the U.S. and in their respective homelands is not available in such detail from any other source."
—Peter Kiang
University of Massachusetts, Boston

"...Amasses a prodigious amount of data never before collated and points out clearly and correctly the historical and contemporary discrimination in education--and everything else--that Asian Americans--or most of them--continue to endure."
—Roger Daniels
University of Cincinnati
