Opis

After emerging from the tumult of social movements of the 1960s and 1970s, the field of Asian American studies has enjoyed rapid and extraordinary growth. Nonetheless, many aspects of Asian American history still remain open to debate. The Oxford Handbook of Asian American History offers the first comprehensive commentary on the state of the field, simultaneously assessing where Asian American studies came from and what the future holds.

Recenzje

For high school history teachers seeking resources to bulk up their background in a still-underrepresented aspect of the US past, as well as for professors preparing for graduate seminars in US social and cultural history, this handbook should prove illuminating ... Unfortunately, too much of the way history is taught in the US marginalizes Asian American experiences, but hopefully this handbook will offer a corrective ... Essential.
